I hadn't considered marketing anything, but your comment made me think, if it were to be marketed, teams wouldn't want to mill out their kit chassis. Then I realized, the slots could be made in the piece of extruded aluminum, and not in the chassis itself. It seems to me that this would be a nicer way than my original design because a team could try it without doing anything to their chassis, and take it out later if they wanted. I'll try to design this other way in CAD as soon as I get the chance and a post picture.

Also thanks for the comments. Washers should definitely be there, and tubing around the bolts is also a very good idea.
