Any blaster bracket interest?

I see many of you have a blaster kit on order as I do.
Is there any interest in having the blaster "bracket" made from aluminum?
A friend of mine who knows a guy, had these made for me last year when I made my scratch built ESB blaster. The dimensions were taken from WOF's EE-3 blaster/Webley templates. If there is interest, I will inquire about cost.

Hey Suspect86, In your original thread you posted a price of $150.00 for your bracket.
In your prototype you included a "thumb rest". The bracket I'm proposing, is a more simple piece, low cost. Don't quote me, but I was thinking more like $25.00 a piece.

The part I call a "thumb rest" I fabricated from wood. It is all one piece layered between the bracket and hand grip.

Yeah, the piece I was working on had a metal "thumb rest" which drove the cost sky high.
That piece was also crucial to the stability of hand-grip resting in place. On your piece you have 2 screws holding it into place, and on a real Webley there is only one bolt holding it along with the "thumb rest."
I like your design quite a bit and I think it will work very well to serve it's purpose(keeping your bracket from breaking).

When I worked on mine I went a little too far and tried to achieve historical accuracy as well.
My prototype alone cost me almost $300.
 
What about water jet cutting? That's how mine was made.
I was told that's how mine was made also. The unpainted bracket in the previous pics has had the edges sanded smooth.

I will keep an interest list on paper. Till then, I will try to get a more definite price for a run of 10 and or 20 brackets.
 
The BKBT stalks are also water jet cut, keeps the price a lot cheaper than pure machining. Good luck on your run though! I hope you garner up enough interest to get this off of the ground.
 
Here's the the deal Y'all. I spoke with "the guy" today, he will order the aluminum next week. Cost will be $30.00 each, shipping included within the US. International please PM me for shipping quote. I am posting a list for ten spots, the run will go ten spots filled or not.
