I can't imagine that this piece would be easy to fabricate because it has the round groove that allows the turning, doesn't it? I think somebody is going to be a disappointed buyer on these. >> I can't see a backyard mechanic producing one of these. It's very heavy stamped steel plate. I got a couple of sets from my local parts guy. Not easy but not really difficult to cut either. A nice cut-off wheel can made good work of it in about 15-20 minutes each plate.
