Our primary choice would be to find a sheet metal sponsor to fabricate the piece for us. We do have access to a waterjet and a break, however, the cutting area on the waterjet is too small to manufacture the piece and the manual break is of rather low quality.
If we can't find a waterjet sponsor, we'll split the single sheet metal piece up into 4 (two end sheets and a two piece bellypan) so that they'll fit on the waterjet and bend the c-channels ourselves.
If we're unsuccessful at bending the end sheets ourselves AND finding a waterjet sponsor AND still want to use this drive during next build season, we'll probably just purchase the
end sheets from the 2015 kitbot.
Dont give up, because that is when you lose what you have. FIRST is the best experience that I have had throughout my entire life and there is no way ANYONE can make me quit FIRST. - Arefin Bari [more]
