I read this topic a couple of months ago when I started buying the bits to install the 1225d charger. I went everywhere to find the Longranger bracket but they're no longer available, according to all the sites that I contacted. Redarc even sold these at one time. They still have a picture of it if anyone needs to get an idea of how it looks. I ended up making my own, based on the Longranger unit, but fabricated it so that it mounted a little further to the passenger side of the radiator so that it didn't obstruct as much of the radiator as the Longranger bracket. I installed a nutsert near the headlight to fully secure the right hand side of the bracket, as well as at the bottom. The foot at the bottom of the bracket could've been made longer to take advantage of the existing bolt, but I chose not to.
There's a chap in Mayfield West NSW (Kurt Sander Mobile Auto Electrician) who sells fully prepared wiring kits (including charger and bracket) but I don't know where he gets his bracket from. He can be found on Gumtree & Ebay, but the kits on Ebay are dearer.
I don't know why Longranger or Redarc don't make the bracket any more. There's still plenty of guys looking to buy.
