Part for 1998 Master Touch

[BrockSylvan]

I was handed down a 98' Master touch and I am having trouble replacing one part. I can find the one touch cleaning kit and ash catcher for my year; however I cannot find the bracket that supports the ash catcher in the middle of the photo. Weber says they don't make it anymore and none of the other parts come with it. Other than modifying my kettle to accept the new style ash catcher does anyone know where I can find the bracket? I appreciate any help.

Per this 2014 thread, Brian O'Neal was making them back in the day. Don't know if he's still doing them, I don't see them on his website GrillHandle.com. Email I have for Brian is executor70@aol.com, but perhaps better to use the Contact form on his site.

Thank you, I will hunt that down.

I restored one of those and wound up grinding and sanding that bracket and the painting first with rust encapsulater and then with high heat silver. It takes some finagling to get it to work with the newer mechanism but it can done. The old style pan holder won’t stay on without it.
