Got bored. Things are slow in the shop last few days so got my rear in gear and built some neat seat belt hangers. Built them so you could mount them on a cross bar on the top cage right next to the tin. Ifen your like me I hate taken off my shoulder belts and having no place to put them. Your always having to dig them out form under your ass when you get in your car or they are chiping up your powder coat when you take them off.
Would you guys believe that all it took was a couple of hack saw blades and file to get them done!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ::) ::) ::)

WOW! Did you make em out of "transparent aluminum"?

Hey editing your post is cheating ;D

Those are COOL!!! but hacksaw my ass! ;D ;D ::) You need to cut loose on details! I'd like a pair for myself maybe.

Those look nice Corvair! Kudos to the polisher as well! It looks like they are even polished in the cutouts! Or is that because you used an extra fine file to make them? ::) Do you have a secret you want to let us in on, on the polishing? We used to polish gobs of aluminum so I have the sanders and buffers, but we outsource it all now. I am always looking for a better way.

Chem polished or vibratory?

Chem polished or vibratory My A&& ;D
Good old elbow grease and a 18 inch by 2 inch wide buffing wheel. Me black from head to toe when done. lots of white compond then the red rouge.
Really wouldn't be good for many for they are hacked saw and filed for 1.25 tube. I have a 1.25 bar across the top of my car for just that purpose. Rest of the top cage is 1.5 .095 but I wanted to keep the hanger bar below my roof line so's not to interfer with the sheetmetal.
Water jet? By the time your fixture them for the .09 raduis and drill, counter bore and tapping. You can have them machined. It would take a ton of sanding befor polish to smooth out the water jet marks. Plus you would be locked into either .5 or .65 material. The .5 being to thin for the 1/4x20 bolt and the .65 to wide for the belt loop to go over.

I can really appreciate the polishing. I did a bike frame and rims on mine and a few others for extra cash. got out of it about 5 years ago and never looked back. Only on my stuff now. Very time consuming. I certainly can appreciate it though!
As far as 1/4-20 in a 1/2" plate. that's what my FOX Reservoir clamps are. The counter bore for the 1/4-20 is 3/8". I have used that set up very well. thicker is better but I didn't see a need. No issues yet.

Doug
