Looking for some fittings - brass & stainless steel
Morning all.
I turn to the learned assemblage herein in my search for some particular fittings to be used on rocking horses and associated swing stands.
I have searched the net many times - even got the staff at Bunnings and Mitre 10 to search their databases with no result. Quite frustrating, because I know these things are out there, and I know that some of you will point me in the right direction.
The first item is a bracket which holds the 10mm swing bars in place on top of the frame:
They look something like the items in photo 1, and hold the swing bars in place as shown in photo 2 (see arrow). I would like them to have a nice finish and hopefully be available in brass and in stainless steel finish. I want to resell them so am looking for the manufacturer or distributor rather than the retailer and I'm quite happy to buy them in bulk, by the box full - even import them if I have to.
I would also like to buy some small sets of stirrups (photo 3) to go with the rocking horses. Again, these should be in brass, stainless steel or even cast aluminium.
All suggestions and leads most appreciated.

Thanks Lateral. Yes, I have had a look at this site previously.
He does indeed sell the fittings I'm after, but they're far too expensive to resell - even without adding shipping costs from UK. I need to find the manufacturer/distributor that this guy buys his fittings from.Don't Just Do It.... Do It HardenFast!!

You should be able to go to an 'investment' caster to get the stirrups cast up - brass, bronze, stainless, high carbon are all commonly available - you'll either have to make your own master mold or pay to have one made from an example.
The pressed metal fittings are more of a problem, but if you can make a solid model of one, the mob who cast your stirrups could cast them in solid rather than pressed metal.
