Thanks! And no I didn't really take any. However I did closely follow this tutorial bobamaker: Aluminium Toe Spikes and the only other tasks were trimming down the excess metal on the glue tip (mine was shaped differently), finding the right angle to trim the ends at so they lie straight, filling them with JB weld, and then epoxying them to the roughed up bracket.

If you are looking in the States...look at Ace hardware. Strip metal is usually close to the aisles of bolts and specialty hardware.

Try JB weld.
