Title: I have been for a supplier for the "Right Clamp"
Post by: ROGERABRAM on February 24, 2015, 15:37
Does anyone know where this clamp is available. Searching the Internet, the only supplier seemed to be the US.

Presumably a right angled clamp for assembling things nice and square? If so I think York Model Making and EDM models sell similar products.

Finney and Smith used to sell Right Clamps but they have closed down.   I think they transferred their stock to Branchlines, they are mentioned in their ad in the March Railway Modeller.

Contact details here

They give an email address in the RM ad,

Thank you for the replies I have received. However the clamp I was looking for is 2 lengths of Brass angle (different sizes were available) which are clamped together with thumb screws. I am sure they were shown in an article in the 009 news some time ago but cannot now find it. The ones I found from the links given were plastic with magnetic inserts to hold them together and looked too large to fit into 009 wagons and coaches to hold sides and ends. The brass also allowed for soldering.

I presume that the brass angles 'nest' together with one of the angles inside the other and the other outside. If so maybe you could find suitable angle and make your own.

Just to confirm Roger is it one of these which you are looking for?

These are the "Right Clamps ™ " that Frank mentions in his post and I can't think of anything else that goes by the same name if what you are after is not shown in that photo.

Thank you. This is what I am looking for. I have seen them advertised in the past but not recently.
