Aluminum I got from Yarde Metalsand my local True Value Hardware store (one of our sponsors), any metal supply house would be good.

Some of the commercial part numbers are out of Small Parts Inc. They were a big part of FIRST including giving each team a credit for purchases and I still use them because of that. For you veterans, remember the rule that you could use anything as long as it came from SPI?
Thanks alot. How are the L-shaped end brackets fabricated, are they from a full block or what? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really interested in the gearbox, it looks awesome.
