White93z34 Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 question about these, it seems they have to make a few bends to clear the trunk supports, now what thickness will these be made from that will allow them to be rigid enough to stand up to any stress that will be put on them?

AWeb80 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 It is 1/4" steel that has been lasercut......if you know anything about what metal does when you heat it to high heats, it gets hard. So the mounts actually have a "hardened" shell on them which makes them more rigid. Even if these may not be "as" stiff as the other mounts i make, it is still way better than no STB. I still think they will be more than capaple to handle the stresses..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Really the only thing I see being a problem is the "tabs" where it would actually mount breaking off. But still like you stated it would take a great force with 1/4" steel to break it. But thats prolly one of the weakest spots on the mount. Like for example Id be afraid of a shearing stress on that one spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
