Title: WTB Custom Corner Brackets
Post by: crashwg on June 06, 2004, 08:57:43 pm
I'm not sure if anyone out there is even capable of this, but I need some custom pieces fabricated for my ddr hardpad.

What I'm looking for is 32 - 2" corner brackets, simmilar to the stanley version seen here
(http://images.orgill.com/200x200/6792261.jpg)

The difference between those and the ones I need:
That's about it... It shouldn't be too hard to fabricate, heck, you don't even have to bend them or drill the holes... I can do that!  :P

I am including a rough MSpaint version of what I would like, but I can get ahold of a CAD drawing which of course is more accurate.

I'm not too sure as to how much I'm willing to pay.  I will pay for you to purchase the stanley brackets for comparison, raw materials, and of course for your time.  I'm guessing stainless isn't too expensive for what I need and it wouldn't take very long at all.  I'm just going to throw out a number... $50?

I would imagine it'll cost you a lot to get those custom fabricated (I'd guess about $150, but i could be wrong).

McMaster Carr have similar 2" ones, they're $1.10 each, but have too many holes and have 'dimples' also.

I'll ask someone at work to find out who fabs steel part around here...

You've probably seen these but wanting a different color (ie stainless steel as mentioned).  But can these be painted with something super durable?

Actually Nannuu, I hadn't seen those.  Thanks a whole bunch!  I think that the yellowish color is camera related.  Do you have any idea as to how to order from them I can't seem to find anything about that on the page.

BTW, I did e-mail them asking about the color and ordering, so I'll keep y'all informed.

Oh, and JoyMonkey, I deffinitly would appreciate it if you asked around, just incase the ones on channelbeat.com are yellow or I can't get them for some reason.  Thanks in advance!

A friend at work suggested that you try and give this guy (http://yellowpages.superpages.com/profile.jsp?SRC=&N=american+metal+craft&R=N&STYPE=S&LID=0000580211) a call.
