Don I don’t have pictures but it’s really straight forward. Take one of your brasses off and make a stronger one. I ueed 6061 aluminum that had to be welded because it won’t bend 90 degrees without breaking. The 5000 series aluminum will bend 90 degrees. Some times I have hundreds of feet of it but I don’t think I have any now. You can go to any sheet medal machine shop they should have something that will work. And thing from 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick and 7/8 to 1 1/4 inch will work. They should be able to shear it for you out of a sheet. Then you can drill the holes in it and bend it in a vice with a hammer. It’s really nothing to it. If I can do it anybody can.
