Replacement for C5 (plastic) handle brackets?

[FullMetalHippie]

Okay, I am totally geeking out here, but the only thing I would change about the class 5 are the plastic handle brackets, and I guess also the plastic wire mesh top grill for their actual metal counterparts. The mesh is easy but Home Depot did not have anything that would replace the handle brackets.

I think brass would be the correct metal. Anyone have any ideas?

*It seems a suitcase handle would be similar. ** Actually it looks like the brackets for the 1959 Plexi are what I am looking for.

I think I found them here for a decent price!

That's a good site, you'll have to post pic's when you fit them!

I will! What Class 5 owner wouldn't want that inexpensive upgrade/correction?

Any updates on this? One of my gold plastic handle brackets is cracked and I would like to replace it. I sent a message to Marshall about a replacement, but wouldn't mind replacing it with a metal bracket instead.

Edited for spelling.

It looks like the C5 handle (for the head) is ~ 11" from screw to screw. Please let us know what you hear back from Marshall.

Really? It's only 8" from screw to screw on my C5-01 combo.
Marshall e-mailed me for my address and are sending me a stock replacement. (either the bracket or the whole handle, not sure which) So, that's good enough for me. Good customer service from Marshall.

If it breaks down the road then I'll look into a better replacement.

My mistake, I am fairly sure that the handles for the combo and head are the same. It would be nice to find a replacement for the plastic ends since the amps will be around for years of use.
