So here are the options these prices are shipped anywhere in the us, with mil spec anodizing, and only if I can get 10 orders.

I would like to sell the kits at
-7075 - 190.10
-6061 - 165

Since this is the first production run Ill take a hit and do them at
7075 - 165.10
6061- 141.00

If I can get more than 10 people I can negotiate the prices down. Its a numbers game.

as for 6061 vs 7075. both behave the same thermally i.e. they expand at the same rates. 7075 is significantly stronger than 6061 in terms of raw strength. 7075 is usually used in Aerospace applications for structural parts. 6061 is typical for automotive and non structural applications.

Personally I think 6061 will be sufficient. The oem tubes are plastic which implies they arent subject to high mechanical loads.

If 10 people say they will buy it Ill pay the machinist tomorrow. No money will be exchanged until I have the parts in hand.

6061
