I made a solid model of the flange and used that to program the toolpath.

Here's a screen cap of the setup . . .

Cool, thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Anybody interested in buying some of these? I had a prototype one made just like this one, except my spacer is 1" thick. If there is an interest, I might see about having a machine shop quote it.

Let me know. I have been exploring ideas to lenghthen the Greddy Ti. You are definitely many steps aheas of me. This would be much cheaper than a JDM Evo IX bumper

Thanks and nice work!
