Anyone interested in a group buy for a steel bracket? Need minimum of 10 orders to keep design and set up costs down.

One time costs are about $500 (modelling, CNC programming, build soft jaw). Production cost per unit is about $60 each. For a batch of 10, it works out to $110 each using mild steel and no paint or powder coating.

 The nameless black one is all steel  the one before that There is another bracket and arm you need to make the kit work..  . There another broken (in two pieces) one that got lent out. I will soon have a little collection of Jay's brackets. |

yikes!!
Was the one that you got from zach another aluminum one? or was it the "updated" steel one.
Seems like something i should stay away from.
Good thing i dont have huge ass turbos/manifolds without heatshields to kill alternators in the stock location! haha

Ryans, by the pic looks aluminum.
As for the relocation, its not just from the heat from a big turbo/external gate etc. I have that and my alty is fine where it is. I want to relocate, but not because of that. I like that lump of metal behind the front axle for handling issues. The space would be nice too.
