i probably don't have the raw material though. if you can get the raw material shipped here (send me a PM and I'll give my address) I can send the completed pieces back (and the drop if you want it). i'll need about 2.5" - 3" of material to hold in the chuck and then whatever your dimensions are plus 1/8" each for parting off. so if you want 2 of them at 1/4" thick, i'd need 3" + 2 * 1/4" + 2 * 1/8" = about 3 3/4" total material.
I can do it with a bit less material, but centering the piece in the chuck becomes difficult.
dimensions in inches please.

Got some more work in on the car today. I had to make an adjustable transfer punch to mark the bracket for the mounting point because it was basically a blind spot.
Got the bracket marked and drilled. Was able to mock it up with some makeshift spacers. Bolted everything together and it fit pretty damn well. Next week I will transfer the mounting holes to the other bracket and make the extension strip to the third mounting point for added strength although I believe this would be strong enough but I love to overbuild stuff.
Once everything is finished It hink it will be very easy to reproduce.
