Paddle Shift

The 'lath master' at work knocked this up for me. All I need now is the 6mm alloy. Anyone know of a source? Rescued attachment Paddles.jpg

mhh

i would laser 3 of them of 2mm alloy and just weld it together with small tig welds..

will be cheaper because 2mm is more common then 6mm sheet..

sow you could easyly find more "unused" pieces.

If you put a tab above and below the centre hole and bent these over 90°, could you not incorporate your pivot points into the design, or are you going to be welding those on seperately?
