Best price and service - if he has one - would be John, the host of the site. Contact SOS.

Or else keep looking at Ebay - put in a 'save' for Seagull . .

A Minter 40+ is not one missing the transom bracket!

As someone said in another post something about "the parts costing more than the whole".

If transom brackets sell for £20.00 on ebay then that's what they're worth.

Just one thumbscrew & pad washer from British Seagull will cost you £15.00 + postage.

Perhaps your best course of action would be to buy a complete 40+ mk2 from ebay & keep keep the rest for spares, it's not like they're too expensive this time of the year.

Perhaps that's why your minter is such a minter, it couldn't do any work without a bracket.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Have to agree. Actually, twenty quid plus postage would be good result. They frequently made more over the last year..........

Would be good if you tell us where you are, or, even better, update your profile with a location.............!

Since you talk in £/GBP/quids we must assume you are UK based?
