Gauging Vendor Interest Opt. B Mounting brackets

Steven Flit and I mounted our OPT B tanks the other day, and we made our own brackets to hold them in place. They look pretty nice and are definitely sturdy. I was just wondering if this is something I can sell to you guys to help out the forum. They'd be very cheap (price of materials + $10-15 for labor), and be a direct fitment for everyone. Anyone interested? I'll get pics as soon as I can.

EDIT: Any that I sell would be cleaned up (no jagged edges like in the pics) and can come painted for a couple more dollars. Yes, the barcode would be removed too...lol

I told him about it; he said he would, as long as he could get the day off and he gets his car started and running tomorrow.

Nothing wrong w/ that

it's only like 20-30 bucks more for it anyway.

i would take one, just a few reccommendations if you guys don't mind?

finish of the ends/edges a little bit. a grinder wheel would do wonders for that. offer to color match, that would bring the price up to say 20-25 for each, i'd pay that easy.

Oh yea

We didn't care much for our own... especially mine. As long as it fits and holds, its all good for me.

But the finished product would be well trimmed and color matched just as hunterkiller said "paid for"

u know steve, ive got some black spray paint in ze garage....maybe I should take it off and paint it, and clean up the sides and get some more pics. Its something like $10 for the bracket, and another $8 for the various screws, nuts, and washers. so $25+shipping seems fair to me...$30 if its painted.

@ Deftones/camarokiller, its not a complicated piece...its not supposed to be. thats why it would be very cheap. I just couldnt find any brackets to mount my tank, so I made my own, and want to save some people some trouble making their own as well. You know how lazy people get....i guarantee if someone sold a mounting bracket, I would have bought it...lol

all im doing is saving people the trouble of finding the right size bracket, the right size bolts, the right size nuts, and cutting it all to make it fit..
