Today i went to the steelworks place and talked with the guy who has been helping me. He showed me all of their machines. With the 1" thickness there were two options, flame cut, or waterjet. Waterjet @1" was going to be almost 300$ each materials+machine time.
So, the final decision was to go with 3/4" material, and get that material cut on their plasma machine. This will result in a net cost of 200$ for the pair of outriggers. Due to getting the material cut on the plasma cutter, i will have to drill holes on my drill press at the house, and them tap them by hand. To do this i will get a 1:1 printout of the autocad drawing that the shop is using to cut the parts, to ensure all the holes are in the proper locations..
The parts should be ready in 2-3 days. I will post some photos when i receive them, as well as some more when i am drilling the holes. The outriggers may be ready just as my LFR's arrive.
