I've got my plates fabb'd up just have to cut and shape, going with 1/2" aluminum plate, I think the thickness will make them nice and solid. I really like the look and finish and adjustability. Should work out well. The shaft on the pegs is pretty long but I think I like that the shoulder is 1" before you hit threads so 1/2" plate, 1/2" spacer to offset them outboard and it seems like I'll be golden. May have to lop off some extra thread, poking too far inboard gets close to chain/swing arm. Dang this is fun.
