Side 1 is complete on all 8 pieces. I'll start side 2 tomorrow. My boss let me know that I won't be able to get them anodized until the beginning of next year because alot of the shop is going to be using their vacation time next week.

Yea... glad to see you made it and welcome to the forum Slipup.

Again... I should be done with the machining part of the proto-type brackets this week (if the weather will quit interfering). After these are finished I need to knock out a few projects for other 86 members (Drift buttons, ect...).

I hate asking so early but I'd like to get an idea of how many sets I'm looking at making. In other words... who wants big brakes?
