Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

They are a little pricey, but just what I have been looking for. Too bad they don't have a full set in metric, but at least I can get individual dies in metric.

The seat bolts are M6x1.5 so if they match you got the correct thread size.

I might be able to produce a bunch of the forward control plates out of 1/4 inch aluminium. They would come with longer shifter rods and brake linkage and a bracket for the brake cable. The design is the same as the three I offered about a year ago except they will be made out of 1/4 inch instead of 1/2 inch aluminium. Just wondering how many would be interested?. I am hoping to keep the price around $80.00 plus shipping.
Thanks.

Ed L, do you really think 1/4 inch aluminum is strong enough? I first tried with aluminum and they seemed a bit flimsy to me. (Not trying to burst any bubbles here, just thought I would mention it is all.)

The last sets I made were out of 1/2 inch aluminium and were plenty strong enough. I was planning to pull some 1/4 inch out of my scrap pile and jump up and down on it just to see how much flex and abuse it can take. If it is too weak then maybe I'll try some steel. I still have a large piece of 1/2 inch left but the extra thickness is a problem. I might be able to get my hands on a plasma cutter for a day or two which would be sweet for steel plates so that is my backup plan at the moment. It will take a few weeks to sort out so everybody please be patient. I'll plan a run of around five sets. Grin
