CW Racing Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Been tinkering. I'm going to get one of these made for my gt4. Might get a few extras made depending of the cost. Standard bracket weighs 2kg for the main bracket. I can get it down to a third of the weight. Design so far. Mk1 I might add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanity-74 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Would it to be easier and cheaper to make it from welded together sheet aluminium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW Racing Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Not as strong. I wouldn't trust it. Soon as you weld ally you loose about 70% of the materials mechanical properties and the only way to get it back is to heat treat it and I'm sure that wont be cheap. And it won't look as good.

True, a machined alloy bracket would look über cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW Racing Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think it would look best. Blue always looks dul and cheap. Maybe a clear natural anodise would look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
