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.

Can you send some pictures of your design? I would really like to buy them from you but $140 seems like a lot for something so little. I don't know how much work and time it takes to make one of these so $140 might be a good deal so I don't know yet. I think the first thing I should do is go to a local machine shop and see how much they would charge. If they are charging around the same price, i'll just buy it from you. I would rather buy it from a forum member anyway.
