Anyone interested in Cobra adapter brackets

[Goat Blower]

Looks really good.

I wanted to hit $50 per set, but i'm not going to be able to.

If I can make them with 6061, they'll be $75 a set. Need to do some strength calculations and simulation before I make a decision.

Sounds good. Keep us posted.

Will the hardware specs be included? This is a good bit cheaper than the RTM brackets.

[s1ngletracker]

Well RTM includes brake lines, hardware, and the hub ring.

I figure people are capable of getting brake lines... I could include hardware and I'm looking into the hub ring situation. I guess there are 2 different sized hubs but should be a simple lathe operation on some aluminum tube to make those.

In the article I wrote I included the specs of the hardware I used. That was of course with the RTM kit but should give you a pretty solid starting point. I even included where I got my brake lines from, which I shared with RTM so those are the same exact lines you get with their kit as well.

I'm looking at reducing the bracket thickness... might be excessive and that will bring material cost down. Should have an update this weekend.

3D printed prototype is 0.8" thick

Go figure, 6061 doesn't like heat. Design change pending.

If you want me to, I can check at work what a good AL would be for this application. Halon and I work with a zillion engineers, and I know of one who is a metallurgist & weld engineer as well.
