Traveller left hand door L bracket

[moray]

My Traveller is missing the metal L bracket that screws to the top of the left hand door.
There is a picture and description of it on page 111 of the Traveller complete companion book.

Would anyone be able to help with a pic of the front of it, or a drawing with dimensions.
Hopefully should be pretty straight forward to make a new one from flat steel stock.

Cheers

I've never seen a "real" one in the flesh, but this is my version of it - a small repair bracket from B & Q! I estimated the upper dimension from the picture in the book, and someone on here advised me that the bottom leg, which can't be seen on the book, is 22mm long.

Hi, I've just looked at my Traveller door and the two little holes are there, with no bracket.
Forgive my ignorance but what was the function of this bracket?
Perhaps it was left off when the wood was changed.

Thank you Mark,

That's exactly the info i need.

Flywheel,
According to the book, it's purpose is to make sure the center of the doors align at the top and press evenly against the top rail door seal.

Hi Moray, many thanks.

There are two steel plates at the top of the LH door see pics....

Ask if you need dimensions...

Here they are on the assembly drawing from the Factory Traveller Timber Plans with the part numbers..... all the detail needed is on these plans...

the door pictured above is an earlier type with a glass fillet...later top rails just had a slot for the glass and were probably stronger..these brackets were the same on early and late versions from what I can see...

Thanks Taupe, that arrangement looks sensible even if the second bracket was missed in "the book". Looks like I've taken the 22m as being the length of the bottom leg, but should have been the total length from the top of the bracket.

(Typed before I saw the plans. These clear up a little mystery - someone thought the brackets were nailed, most thought screwed. Both opinions correct, then!)
