Guess what I'm working on during my me time
Took my drawings to the fab shop yesterday but they're not sure they can cut 1/2" for the motorboard.
Called two shops yesterday w/brackets on e-bay.
One in Miami that went to a blind e-mail that called me right back after verifying I wasn't a bill collector?
Theyre 8 wks out.
Second one in Alabama that also did not answer phone and had no voice mail.
Dealt w/these people enough to know to keep your hand on your wallet.
If local shop can't do it, I'll probably build one from glass.Last edited by Instigator; 10-03-2018 at 09:10 AM.

Going to look something like this glass one I restored for my second Sonic.
On my first Sonic I had an aluminum one built that looked identical to this. First 3 pixs are glass, last one is aluminum.
A major feature to this style of bracket beyond additional flotation is the swim platform portion.
This is what it looks like.
We all on the same page now?I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

That's a whole lot of aluminum, do the glass much lighter.

I'll pm you in the morning of a place here that can water jet you in stainless or aluminum. Even building out of composite glass brackets are heavier and sag.

I don't remember weighing the glass one (balsa core) but I'd guess it was heavier than the aluminum which I believe was 150 when I did weigh it.
The one shop that did answer the phone guessed 200 lbs.
I do prefer aluminum.
The main guy at local shop was out the day I was there so still hoping they can buid it.Last edited by Instigator; 10-04-2018 at 06:23 AM.

Most every good bracket on the market is aluminum powder coated...

Perhaps get some carbon foam core panels ( or maybe plain foam or single side laminated) and cut them up and bond it together to the shape you want
To prevent crush at the bolt holes you might need to core it and fill with epoxy
Then take it to a carbon shop to laminate and bag it once you have it built.
Do internal flange so you can hide the bolts and still have it adjustable that will mean inspection hatch in it or access from the old I/O holeLast edited by powerabout; 10-04-2018 at 12:01 PM.
