Paul,
In some of your earlier designs for motor mounts you referred to "steel hat
sections" for the cross member under the engine.  I have not found reference
to a place to get that formed material. Do you have any suggested sources?

Thanks

You go to a AC sheet metal shop and have them bend it up out of
.049 4130 or if you want it really bullet prof... .065 4130.
The bend radii should be about 2 to 3 times the thickness
of the steel. A lot of AC sheet metal shops don't stock 4130 so
you will need to buy that (ACS) and take it to them.

It takes a pretty big press brake to bend .065 but .049 
4130 should be no problem.
