Those of you that have them, do you have a vendor you like best for them?
Those that made your own, what's a good thickness to use on the stock D30 tabs?
I've got a quote from a local shop, but they are asking $100 for parts and labor. I'm all for supporting vendors when able, but that seems way to high to just weld on some plates for 30 mins, my guess based on limited welding experience, of work. I recall a shop that closed last year that would do it for $30 parts and labor as a special for a couple months. Wish I had had them do it, but that would have been an hour drive each way. I have seen some plates for as little as $30 shipped that I could probably do myself but have some ugly welds. Don't know how well they would handle the beating though. Might even be able to scrounge up some leftover plate out at my parents' place for free.
