guys, i was up by accident at 330 thinking it was 530 and i neglected to say that the cardboard was a pattern to be taken to the sheet metal shop and have a part bent out of the thickest steel that they can bend (abnout1/8", i think).

(those sheet metal screws wouldnt hold much in cardboard!)

you guys must have thought i was losing my mind there!
