Find someone with a CNC milling machine or hand mill and then give them a billet or good grade steel ;)
 
I'd offer to do a solid works design for it but swamped atm with uni work and a couple of bumpers/winch trays

Pressbrake may make you one if you ask nicely, not sure if he has a milling machine but he has a lathe so may have a miller too

That could be something pb that would sell very well the end plate atm is a very week part of the design of the 8274, I for one would be interesred if its summit you could make:)
 
I've noticed it's going to be a weak point and have thought about it myself, if only we had a proper milling machine is give it a go !

Mine snapped the top and bottom mounts:mad:
I also need to get my arse in gear and fit the 2nd alt
The split charge system and one alternator just isnt up to the job of powering an 8274 with a bow 2 motor:eek:

Hellish !
I've gotta be creative with my second alt as my rear rad pipe work goes over the mounts for where I'd fit the second alt :/
 
Looks a nice simple solution with minimal machining time.
As for toolsteel probably en8 which machines as nice as en1a but welds a lot better, its 4130 that gets a pita to machine quickly
