The first one is made of cold rolled steel and cost me an arm and a leg to get prototyped. If I do sell them I would make them from 7075 aluminum. If there is a high enough demand for steel I could talk to the machinest and see what it would cost to make them from steel.

well ill take a steel one depending on how much it is. It seems kind of weird to use steel for yourself and sell aluminum ones but whatever. if you want an aluminum ill take your steel

As far as I know, he'll make aluminum brackets for anyone that is interested. He wants to avoid the higher cost of mateials and machine work.

The cold rolled steel does cost a lot, not sure as compared to aluminum, but I'd think near eachother. The main difference is how hard coldrolled is. That stuff is a pain in the butt to drill through and tap.

Yea but he does road race events i believe. He said it in one of his posts, "The track I go to has a 3800ft strait I have to stop at the end of that after hitting 120mph and do this with in 100ft and hope the little factory brakes can hold.The track I go to has a 3800ft strait I have to stop at the end of that after hitting 120mph and do this with in 100ft and hope the little factory brakes can hold."
