Removable bridge

[planty]

I've been searching through old posts on this topic and there are some excellent solutions for removable and lifting bridges.

There are lots of people using removable bridge clamps, mention of "hillmans" (which after further searching seem to have disappeared due to the supplier ceasing trading)

So my question is does anyone know of a UK stockist for clamps to enable bridges to be lifted and then clamped back into place?

For info I am using Peco G45 track on my layout.

In the USA and Aust., Accucraft have rail clamps for their Code 250 rail, as do Sunset Valley for their Code 250 rail.

I'm in Aust., so I've no idea if either brand is distributed in the UK, or if they would fit the rail Peco use in their G45 track.

Just a suggestion - re removable bridge.
The bride over Warringine creek on my layout has been in situ since 2007, is timber constructed and is simply removed by sliding back 4 standard brass track joiners and lifting out. the positive lining up is achieved by the steel pins and holes in angles bolted to the post and bridge, as shown (excuse the cobwebs!) and has never failed to line up.

The plates at each end the bridge sits on.

The pins slightly tapered to assist engagement.
