any decent machine shop should be able to handle it for no more than 20 bucks.

you're going to mount it under your bumper right? it doesnt need to be perfectly symetrical or anything, no one will see it.

just throw two tabs on there and rig it up.


hell ive seen FMIC's held up with wire......yea, scary, i know.

i think i'll just install everything and then JB weld the tabs onto place after i measure it myself using my eyes and align everything to make look as straight as possible.

so my next question is, where do i get the tabs? at any machine shop?

hey bro,

you'er way over analyzing this. there is no wrong or right way to do this. whatever you think works prolly will. head to home depot, get some materials andd maie it! no sense in paying more then you have to.

its as easy as that. it you think it might work, it proly will.

go to the home depot, get some 3/4 x 3/16 strap aluminum. line it up index it, bend it if needed, take it to the machine shop, have em weld it, and voila. mount it up and go.
