If you order enough pizza, you won't have to buy any poster board!
No shortage of pizza boxes and beer cans at this bachelor pad! I just prefer poster board. It behaves a lot like sheet metal.

Since I was sitting here staring at it, I went ahead and snapped a few pics of that reduced flange 3/8 bolt.
I'm super pleased with the new cutting tools and holder for my lathe, BTW! Carbide FTW! So much better than hand sharpened HSS. The 17-4PH stainless is WAY more ductile than I expected. I still need to do a little tweaking of the tool setup, but even with the chip breakers on the cutters, I was getting long stretchy shavings. Theu don't seem all that brittle. Good stuff.

Final version in .060 alloy steel. I wanted a bit more cross section, just for looks and this is what I had laying around. It's powder coated in grey right now but I'll shoot satin black over it when the weather dries up.
Two minor tweaks the fitup prompted: I added a hem and widened the cross piece so it wouldn't chaff the cables & wires goin thru the upper tree.
Still need to do some minor edge cleanup by hand and I've got a few nicks here and there but it should look fine in black.

...and this is why these chrome aluminum Excel rims aren't suitable for tubeless conversion. Bead won't seal without some kind of repair to the grind area. Same as the 5.5 I'm running out back. Disappointing for retail price, but I got the rear for a steal and wanted the front to match.

That is disappointing...
Did the Japanese do that?... or did they ship to china for the finish work?
It would be better to leave them un-ground if you could specify, but it doesn't work like that
