Hey guys,
I've been contacted by another forum member in PM regarding the bracket fabrication some time ago, so I went to the guy who made mine and asked him about the price - he named $150. That excludes shipping of course.
Funny thing is - a few days later he called me and said that 8 brackets were ready for me. I never asked him to start making them, but I guess people really like to hear what they want to hear sometimes...
Anyway, I have an unexpected stock of these now. I think I'll keep one just in case, but for the other seven - I'd be happy to get them to one of you, so you could forward them locally just to make one cross-continent shipping. I think there should be some shipping options even at these times.
Money is another PITA though. Anyway, if anyone's willing to take part in this - let me know. I guess we'll have to work something out.
