I posted the same request before, But now I have drawings of what I need. If interested, I do have larger pics I can email.
I need this bracket to mount my transcooler inside the side scoop panel. It can be made out of 1/8" steel or aluminum. Thanks to those that can help.

if u need it done bad enough i guess i could weld a bunch of peices of 1/8" steel together and grind all the welds to make it look like a solid peice, don't know if u want it to be all one piece or several peices put together....LMK

If you can make it that way, That is fine. Actually the side opposite the right angle is the only side that needs to be flat. The center opening is the important measurements as this is where the vaned area of the trans cooler will be.

Bump for the late nighters to see.

Oreif - I can make it fer ya

If you take your drawings to any local ironworks/fabrication shop, they'd make it for you pretty cheap. In my experience, metal fabrication for easy parts like this is way cheaper than most people think. Something worth looking into, anyway.

I sent you an Email!
Thanks.

Heh, that's funny. I thought that making an engine mount bracket would be cheap. I designed something on my computer which was pretty simple (flat iron with a couple of straight bends, and maybe 3 welds). All the places I wend to wanted 200+ CDN to make it because it was so small (about 6"-8" per side), and they didn't want to waste their time with small items like that.

Perhaps you were going to places that were too big and were used to big orders? In my old hometown (Population about 600,000), there was an iron works shop that made me two basic strap brackets (each with four bends, two milled slots, and about three or four feet of 1"x.125" steel) for $40 US.

Another time I've worked with a steel supply store in a different city (population 35,000), the steel was about a quarter of what it cost to buy at the hardware store. They did cuts for $1.50 and bends for $2. They could also do radius bends, slots, etc. on any material of (almost literally) any size for just as agreeable prices. Quantity was no object, big or small, they treated you well. I was quite impressed with some of their benders. They did mandrel bends on tubing just as cheap as buying bends from Summit and such, but you could get the exact angle you wanted so as to avoid wasting pipe and doing extra welding.

Lastly, getting parts welded, especially if you already have all the pieces ready, has also been very cheap for me in the past. Only once have I had to get anything welded, as my dad has a good MIG welder I've used more than him! Once I had to get about three minutes of welding done, and the guy charged me ten bucks.

Using my experience, I'd be surprised if Oreif had to pay more than about 30 or 40 bucks for this part. It doesn't require any welding, the material is only a few bucks worth, the cuts are basic, and the bending would take about five minutes.

Anyway, good luck to you Oreif!

WCF is making the bracket for me. We've already discussed it via Email.
Thanks for all your responses.

So how much are they charging. Inquiring minds want to know!
