    that is what I was thinking too, but I figured they would be expensive
    Boats and hoes

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.

    Well so far McMaster seems to have the cheapest ones. Since they are just going to be used on shifters, I would think aluminum would be strong enough. The aluminum ones are cheaper too. Here are pics of what I'm thinking of.

    Ok ok I'll check Purvis. I was busy during what I figured were their business hours today so I didnt have a chance to call.
