What size screws are you using? 2-56? :rofl: Edgewise would be into the 1/8 thick side..... But yeah with 3/16 that could be a problem. 4mm screws would be too big, but if you used 4, 3mm screws in the bottom (instead of 2, 4mm screws) that would do it. Or try and get 1/4 thick material and use 4, 4mm screws! :yes:

Ohhh i didnt know he ment edgewise, I can drill and tap m4 in 1/4in easily, i dont think i need to tap the edge of this.:whistle:

3/16" 6061 is pretty tough. You might not have to... :great:

I never said i was going to :na:

I assumed that since you said you weren't going to bend it that you were going to use the same scheme that Mike uses for his mounts (4mm screws from underneath screwed in edge-wise to the mount). If so, 3/16" thick is too thin. That leaves a "wall" of less than 0.5mm when using 4mm screws. And I wouldn't use anything smaller than 4mm considering the stress they are under.

If you're not doing this, I would think the only other option is to make a 90* bend and use a screw/nut to hold it in place.

why not just bolted to the center diff mount?

Not enough support IMO. Personally, bolting to the CD mount would be in addition to bolting it to the chassis. The CD mount just helps reduce flex, but the chassis is much stronger.

+1... A decent piece of thickish al L bracket is your bet.

hmmm, I have some little 1x1 anlge i think, bolt the angle to the 3/16's 6061?

I just thought I should reinforce your thinking... :na: :na: :mdr:

Just wanted to let you know that you doing a great job..:lol:

I just though I should say THANKS!! :yipi:
