i have no easy way to get them though.. i had to bribe the assistant team leader in the fab shop, while the supervisor was on vacation.. all he did was punch the holes in the center of my plates i gave him. then i just cut them in half and perfect fit tabs. he only made me 16 of them.. just enough..  now they are scraped.

I do mine the hard way.  Flat stock with a grinder and drill press to shape, but someday I'm just going to order a whole pile of them laser cut so I have them ready when I need them.  I generally base my tab size on the size bolt I am running through them.  So I could get by with a whole pile of about 3 different sizes.

Just go to your steel supplier and do the flat bar thing like Boost suggested.I've made hundreds  of them like that. Poor people have poor ways and YES I have been in that boat MUCH of my life.

  i know, boost and master.. i have always made my own tabs with flat bar and grinder.. just getting to the point where im tired of making my own shit, would rather just buy it to save time.

a&a doesnt have the size i need.. and at 1.75 per tab, i can have them made cheaper.
