Default Vance and hines short shots bracket

Hey all, anyone out there have the dimensions of the Vance and hines 424-p bracket? I am unable to locate one, or get it from Vance and hines until California opens back up. Appreciate any help!

Did you ever get any measurements for this bracket? I just measured the bracket I have here and I could send you a
drawing in the morning when I get to work. To get started you would have to get a piece of 6" X 9" X 3/16" thick steel.

I have not gotten any Dimensions yet. If you could do that I would be very grateful, I have some steel available to use.

I would do it tonight but I have no idea of how to do it on a MAC. I will have to do it in the
morning at the shop where I can use paint.

Bracket Offset 1-1/8"
Frame Hole Drill Size 13/32"
Muffler Hole Drill Size 21/64"
Muffler Holes Center to center Horizontal 2"
Muffler Holes center to center Vertical 2-11/16"
Frame Holes center to center Horizontal 2"
Offset Frame Hole to Muffler Hole center to center Horizontal 1-3/8"
Offset Frame Hole to Muffler Hole center to center Vertical 1-3/4"

This should get you going (pictures below). Sorry for the large pictures but I wanted to make sure they were clear. If you have any questions on other dimensions just let me know.

This is fantastic. Thank you very much for the specs! I can't wait to start fabricating and get these pipes on. Funny enough I got an email from V&H last night that they might be shipping orders next week. But if I can make this work I can save the $36 they are charging for a bracket.

It's a pretty simple bracket to make. Good luck with your project and let me know if you need any other information.

What model did you get this for? I'm trying to find one for a 2004 softail, but I can't find a source for the part number or even a picture of what it looks like.
