I just had a set made for my '72. My life long friend here owns a machine shop and whipped out a set for me. We made them 4.125 o.d., started with 3/4" steel, milled it out 1/4" leaving an 1/8" lip around the outside. Made a 1/4" plate to sit inside of it, then drilled and tapped for six holes using a 3/8 conical head bolt same as those in the pics.

I thought that there might be some demand for these so he is figureing up a price to do 50 sets at a time for me. The plates were for 1 5/8 tube to match up with the DSE roll bar kit I am building off of. I'll post pics and prices in the next week or so.

EDIT: I just talked to my machinist and he told me they would be made from 1034 hot roll steel. We could make these for around $140 a pair plus shipping. If this is in the ballpark let me know. A pair would be 2 of the reciever plates, 2 of the outer plates and the hardware. All you need then is tube and a welder.
