Pics installed is a must. Also careful about advertising in threads, Mods dont take kindly on it.

What are the two middle holes for? I knew you were making the backup plates for the sway bar d-brackets. I didn't know you were designing a reinforcement bar. How much were you planning to sell these for?

Holes in the middle are just for machining purposes. Need to see if it works before creating an actual jig. PM me for price if interested. I don't want this post to be moved!

i think im on the diffrent page as you guys. DIY means do it yourself. it seems like you guys are implying that he is selling this pieace?


so is it a DIY like he will post up how in fact to do it yourself or is it simply an advertisment?

The poster has been very good about trying to abide by the forum rules and guidelines, and I'm sure he's aware that pricing will not be posted here.

If you want to do this yourself, I believe you're going to need some expensive machining equipment. My impression is that the original poster created this piece for his own usage, but may be willing to machine others if members wanted to purchase an identical piece.

You just need the part model from me, your machining guys should be able to make it for you. Steel just takes a longer amount of time to machine. However if you went with steel, you could use a thiner plate!

Good work. I'm looking to pick up an EG shortly, and if I do, I'll definitely try to get in touch with you, since you're local.
