Bit of a long-shot but nothing ventured etc.
We bought an old (Y-reg) Transit based Duetto in March and asked the dealer to fit a new Fiamma canopy. It's still not fitted as the dealer can't source the mounting brackets!
By any chance does anyone have a set of brackets which would do the job?
Thanks in advance 😁

The 'brackets' are nothing more than fiber glass formers, slightly wedge shaped so as to improve the angle between the awning and the side of the van. I have seen Duettos with awnings fitted using alloy formers of a uniform (non wedge) shape and they seemed OK. All that is needed is something to hold the awning off the side of the van; it does not to be anything special.

As a suggestion, have you asked AS themselves (I got my 'brackets' from them about 12 years ago).

We had a Fiamma awning on our 2003 Duetto, from memory there were some aluminium alloy brackets which fastened the awning to the side of the van. I'd say they looked like they were fabricated by A-S or the original dealer (Todds), though they might have come from Fiamma. At this distance I expect they'd be a long discontinued part, never say never though.
