    My bad. i think most people make them out of aluminum sheet metal. I think Tyler built the ones for his car. maybe in his race car build thread. I'm not sure if someone mass produces and sells them. sorry

    No more work than fabing a set of aluminum mounts really...:)

    I took mine off while the car was in peices and cut the cenetrs out with a cutting torch. Ground off the slag and put it back on. I probably saved 3-5 lbs.

    I own a fab shop and can build these brackets but I've got a lot of work and it could take me some time .I think I have some extra 69 + 70 brackets I could use as patterns to layout on my computer once that was done I could build them as needed.

    I have a 72,so I'm not sure if they interchange with 70..we should first get a list of folks to make sure you don't waste your time.
    I say maybe start a new thread once you feel the time is right,and clear it with the vendor policy,too...thanks...Fish

    I'd be in for a set of fronts and wouldn't mind having a set of backs also. Her is a pic of one someone posted here in the forum a few years back.
