I have a new repro that Bob Bergstadt Jr. was putting out a number of years ago - new brass one in the box.

What do you mean by Fatman bracket? Which part are you looking for? What brand? There were a number of different what we call Fatman steering wheels made over the years, so without more information or pictures of what you are looking for, would be kind of hard for people to help. Please add that information to your first post by clicking on the pencil thing, along with adding the brand if you know to the title.
Or are you looking for the part Steve posted, the one that allows the steering wheel to fold up and uses the Ford Steering wheel?
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Yes, the one that uses the Ford steering wheel and folds up.

Mark - Bob's made a copy of an "era" accessory bracket that made your stock Model T wheel into a "fatman" wheel - I'll post a photo later.

Better get in touch with RajoRacer for his. Bob Bergstadt sold everything to Birdhaven and ...... :roll:

That is why I added the additional question on my post to clear it up and make sure it was not something else. :)
