    Okay I've got a few commitments, so I'm going to buy a half sheet of aluminium from IMS in the next week or so. Right now I'm going through the Caltrans hiring process, so as soon as I get that all squared away I'll knock out all the pairs of braces for you guys that want em. Just give me a few weeks. I'll contact everyone when they're ready to ship.

    Thanks for the interest,

    Frank

    It would be nice to have them powder coated black. Maybe if there is enough buyers?

    Okay, I'm back in town, I went and bought some aluminum today, and I'll start making em starting Monday, thanks for the interest everyone,, I can make em with or without holes, & as far as plating goes I'm not sure it'd be cost efficient unless it would be a large quantity. As far as price goes after buying the metal and doing some number crunching I'm thinking 60 for the pair of braces. In my 1st feeler I was thinking with the hardware but not quite sure if can at that $, I'll have to go see what a box of bolts cost, they're 6mm flange bolts, what'd you guys think? Is that something any average person could pick up or easier to include? The stock ones work if I remember right but these look cooler :) thanks again

    I'll chime in. First, I want the holes.... and she knows it! Secondly, I'd rather pay a buck or few bucks more to have the right size hardware included. Just makes it so much quicker to put on. If you bought in quantity, charged a buck or few more, it should make you a couple extra in the long run to cover the efforts. Merica!!!!!

    Just an update. I'm in the process of fabrication, I'm doing it in a small window of time after work, so I should have 3 sets made up by the end of the weekend. I got some bolts, 6 small head flange bolts, so with the bolts it'll be $65.00 for the pair, plus shipping, for anyone in So Cal, I could meet for pick up to save shipping $.Thanks.
