Sorry to to hi-jack the thread, okay not really.

Hmm... no. You're not getting a frame, illuminum or aluminum, nor are you getting new clips:

Pretty quickly dropped the idea of getting 3D models & CAM work, fixtures and all that's needed to get those clip done lol They would have cost a fortune once CNC'ed and anodized.

Can't compete with an item that now cost $4.99 (see suncoast's website). Used to be so much more expansive at the time... hence where the idea of getting some made out of AL came from.

Seriously, remember paying $60 from a seller back in the days :/ Glad to see they are almost free now - about time
