I had a friend make me some of this lifting tabs/lugs for the SD50/60/70 dynamic brake hatches. I think they really help improve the overall look and adds to the roof top details. They are a little pricy but well worth and the more you buy the better the price. For a set of 4 lift tabs its $2.00. I am going to order some soon,if you are interested lease PM me and we can go from there.. Here are a couple pics of them installed....   |

Looks like a detail part that needs to be commercially produced.

I agree Brian, these are from Sissons. I need to get some measurements of the lift tabs on the rear hood top of the SD50/60's and the ones that are used on the SD70/M/I's by the radiator fans. I believe these parts could be used by many people.

Nice photo-etch part, but why produce it when Cannon includes them with their dynamic fan hatches? Just wondering...

Good question, and this is why. Have you ever tried to put those little plastic tabs on? They are flat and plastic. I have messed up and broke off more than i care to remember. These tabs are brass and have a small pin that you install in a small hole. They are not going to break off and are really tough. For me there is no question which is a way better product in terms of lasting.

That would be fine if you are replacing your DB fan with the Cannon & Co part. If you are not though, why buy all that just for the tabs.
Ah, Tony. know him well. Also knowing it is from Tony, I know where he is getting them made. Same place I used to get a bunch of photo etch done.

It will be pretty quick as they are ready i just need to pay him for them. The more orders at once though the better.
