I asked Vex if they would add a 22.5 gusset offering to their VersaChassis line. It would allow those of us without a sheet metal sponsor to build something like this with minimal tools.

449 doesn't have a sheet metal sponsor or access to a CNC mill, actually. We do all our machining by hand with a drill press, miter saw, and band saw.
However, we do have access to a laser cutter that can do delrin, which allows us to make precise templates for our gussets that we can then use to match-drill.
