They used to be sold by Dale Hansen of "Best Danged Gizmos" but I think that he closed the company. The ones that clip on the seat are cool and can be made using shelf brackets if you take a bit of time.

A piece of schedule 40 or 80 (depending on weight)pvc works great also.

Roy - Explain how you make one out of PVC
Thanx.. Ron

I cut a piece about 3" long out of 1"dia for my Sierra. Use a hack saw and cut a slot that will fit over the leg. Drill a couple of holes for mounting the matchbox (or what ever). Let me load up a picture. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Will get back shortly.

Anyway, this is the way I done mine.

Make sure you recess the mounting screws a little bit.

I'v had some suggestions but not quite what I'm looking for, rather not get into building my own and the Peterson items wont work for me, I'v included a couple pictures, its already mounted to a small piece of wood, I know someone out there sells them

I have one similar to that but it will not fit a Sierra square leg.

Al Brisco at Steel Guitars of Canada sells those brackets.

Isn't that the type sold on the SGF accessories page? Click Accessories at top of this page. On page 3 look for Show Pro Leg Clamp, available in long or short size, 6 bucks apiece, no minimum order and helps the forum.

if this doesn't do it I will quit, the item attached to the free loader is what I want, the free loader is the same size as a dd-3 and most other effect units, fits a standard size round leg on the steel guitar

If I'm not mistaken that is the same bracket that was sold and used by Goodrich a number of years ago but was discontinued due to its apparent short lifespan.
