Yeah, cool stuff. I've been following them on Instagram for a while and have seen folks get good results. Someone else here referenced them recently, but I can't recall if they were just prepping to send over an order or they had already used them.

The machinist forum I browse has positive things to say about the parts that come back from them.

 

Hard to beat the pricing, that's for sure.

For you guys who are familiar, what would something like this bracket cost - cut from 2mm or 1/8” alum plate?

 

Cut, drill 6 holes, bend 70deg…

 

thx

I played around with their online tool today and 2 bends, one hole, ans no finishing besides deburring in stainless steel was around $30 for a single piece and then you get price breaks for multiples. That might be without shipping. If you have a file you can upload it and get a quote.

Thanks. $30 for SS ain’t bad ( I could easily go SS vs Al). Didn’t know they also offered finishes too. I only need a single bracket made…

 

So I’ll convert my ‘to-scale sketch’ into a proper 3D model to upload!

Yeah, it's pretty wild. Anodizing, powdercoating... looks like they also do yellow zinc plating if you want that OEM BMW look. They also do titanium if you want to get really silly. 

 

Let us know how it goes with the quote!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
