Hey guys,

I am need of a couple motor freezer clamps for some kids science projects, all I need is the clamps the rest will be hand built by the kids with or without an attachment plate. I was unsure if anyone had a source for them.

Thanks Michael

The guy i know making his freezers is getting copper and bending them himself.. From what i have seen this is what alot seem to do.. If you just need clamps try to find a motor heat sink.. ive seen some use certain heatsinks instead of the copper..

Ok may look into that, hard to find a copper supplier locally copper has skyrocketed in price.

People gettin arrested for steeling copper to take to the junkyard, it is going for 3 something a pound right now.

Mike,

If you decide you really want to buy some copper, check out www.mcmaster.com. And yes, it IS expensive!
