I wonder what grade of alloy section they use..............
looking at the photo they don't look that difficult to make - time consuming yes, as they would need a jig to ensure they stay true.

Once I improve my alloy TIG skills I might have a go as i have all the machinery required to produce the parts.

Another project to add to the list.

iT looks to be a very simple design, and they are often the best - not too technical yet practical.
I can see its just a rectangular alloy extrusion, cut & shut with bits added.

I have a Mill and Lathe so its just a case of finding the correct materials, and time. (something i don't have a lot of at the moment)
