Talk to Jay at DMC sidecars. They can probably fix you up with the hardware.
The Terraplane hardware was unique in that we used a "pylon" system specifically designed for each motorcycle. DMC took possession of the last of the "OEM" mounting hardware but scrapped it all in 2013 (or so). I'm sure they would be able to accommodate with a custom set if you had your bike and a Terraplane ready to be fit up. And If you're lucky the Terraplane you find will still have it's "Trim Grip" attached. But most don't.
That doesn't mean you can't rig the chair rigid, it just won't be as versatile as the OEM set up. And with the pylon system each "mount" bolted to a plate on the sidecar frame... which would make an easy-peasy pick up point for the new mounts; no cutting required.

Thanks for the info. You would think the trim grip would be considered an important part of the Terraplane and kept with it.

Thanks, IMO. I'll take all the imput I get.The three-point mount, with one of them being essentially a turnbuckle ( a hell-for-stout one at that ) got a lot of criticism. Three-point mount alone gets a lot of criticism for that matter.
The Trim-Grip adressess a fine point really. I drive my Dnepr at all speed ranges and never feel the need to "fine tune" the lean out for a particular speed (which is what the Trim-Grip was intended for); a nice feature but not necessary.
