Havis Retailers with Stock?

[03msc]

Been trying to find a Havis bracket for the KCH-20R head and every place I've checked is out of stock...backordered for at least a month...even if it says "in stock" on the product page on their site. Anybody know of any less popular Havis retailers that would likely have stock? Or am I just stuck until supply catches up with demand?

I may have one for an install that's not going to happen until the end of March, but I won't be able to check until Tuesday when we are back in the office.

OK cool. Well, let me know when you get to check...I'm going to keep looking but so far I keep striking out. It's just for my personal install but still...it's what's holding me up since I don't want to do it until I have the bracket in hand.

Hate to say it but if @RRSINC doesn't have what you need you may be waiting awhile. We bought a new vehicle at work last year and it took a couple of months for the proper Havis mounting brackets to arrive. From what our vendors have told us, the situation hasn't gotten any better since then. You might want to order what you need now to get it in the pipeline just in case; if @RRSINC fixes you up you can cancel the order, if not you'll already be on the list.

I deal with Havis almost on a daily basis sometimes for work and the less volume faceplates/mounting brackets are about a 4 week lead time right now. More popular items 2 to 3 weeks.

Good point. What shop is he with? I'm guessing RRS or that's the initials...

Yep that’s the bracket lol out of stock even when it says it’s in stock. I’ve checked.

I don't know if you want to change it up, but I do believe the Troy Faceplate is the same style and size as the Havis, but it does have a different finish on it.

Good to know! I potentially have a line on one but waiting until tomorrow to find out for sure.

I was under the impression that while Havis and Troy faceplates are similar, the hole pattern is different.

Yes, that is correct. Havis consoles use a slotted rail for screws and Troy consoles use predrilled holes. Essentially, you can use a Troy faceplate on a havis console but not a havis faceplate on a Troy console.
