Title: looking for a part #
Post by: Jeff on December 12, 2012, 04:25:22 PM
I have question for you guys.  I need a a new triangle support for my old 26.   Mine is rusted up pretty good and can't be cleaned up.  I haven't tried to dig around yet on any Weber parts site, but Im looking to see if anyone knows the part number for this support triangle that goes between the 3 legs of the grill.   It has the 4 support bars on either side of the center bar as opposed to the 3 support bar one you see on the 22s.

Thanks

Jeff I have a beater off of grandpa.  It may not be any better than the one you have.  Your welcome to look at it...

Thank Brian...mine is a beater already...I need a new one to finish the project.  Tried to clean this one up and its too far gone to look good anymore.

I thought you said it was going to be a cooker? ???

Duke...it IS going to be a cooker, but I want it to look really nice like the other red 26's I've seen done up on this site. 

And Bob, that part there is for the newer style 26ers.  I actually did order that part from Weber and its altogether different.  Its 4.25" longer than that the old style triangle.  Its way too long for how the leg sockets are positioned on the old grill.  I've found so far that many of the parts on the new 26ers ARE different than the old 26er.   I will go into the parts differences in detail once I'm completely done with this project.

Not to worry! I'm in this for fun and enjoy the cook! I know I can do twice as many wings as to a 22-1/2.

Jeff-I think the model # for the older style 26 (maybe not as old as yours) was 81001.  Unfortunately, the part # listed for the triangle (and most other parts) refers you back to a 2012 version....

This doesnt help but maybe you can use the information and contact Weber directly.  Good luck.

Jeff. If Weber no longer makes it, ( I suspect they may not) why not just get the best of the 2 traingles and have it replated? Assuming it isn't rust all the way through.  8)

Here is the Weber schematic for grills prior to 2000. Obviously its not correct, but tis the only one they have on their site. It lists the new part. You may be out of luck on a new one.. :(

Yeah AJ...I actually found that schematic last night.  I emailed about that very part and the one in the photo all they have...with the 3 support bars (instead of 4).  I gave them a photo of the original one and they said they don't have it.

Maybe worst-case scenario would be to paint the triangle Jeff. Probably not an ideal situation but at least it may look better than the rust.

Let's have a look at it Jeff. I have some ideas.

I bet it could easily be fabricated by a good metal shop and then have it plated..
Of course it would probably cost a $100.
