If you think there is 10 lbs to save in Tracy's PSRU, that's huge
considering CG and all...If someone is willing to get the necessary
components that can be whittled and you direct in the ares to be
machined, I would be willing to do this for a very small sum to cover
the tooling and possibly the fixture material, about $200. NO other
machine shop would touch something like this for under $1000

I'm interested! My psru still in the crate.

Here is another way Jeff. We rejected this idea a few years ago
because of excessive cost. The cost on NC milling has come way
down recently.
The big weight savings is it combines the schertz beam with the adapter
plate. A schertz beam alone weighs up to 9 pounds depending
on the length. Bob White tested it for us in a crash.
The right side can be much shorter to accommodate a rad on the cool
side of the engine. I'll do a suggested dwg for you. It is a half inch
thick. Jerry Hey tested it for deflection and Jarrett did an FEA.
