Another way is to get some corner steel brackets and put them under your
iron bracket. You can bolt them if you don't want to weld.

Yeah I'd bolt em but that would kinda screw up grinding.

Well, you have to weld then. Weld another plate under the steel
brackets. Or glue it.

Dude, you should realy just weld 'em. you can probably find a place to
do it real cheap and you wouldn't have any bolts sticking out to screw
your grinding up.

Have you tried just making the plates out of steel instead of iron?

All the plates I know about that are being sold are aluminum or steel.

I think that Angle Steel is also called Angle Iron.

Anyway, it is probably better to buy premade plates unless you want to
learn to weld. Your first weld and design will definatly fail. No
doubts.

Umm... I am currently building plates for a wheel in manufacturing
class...

My teacher ran over them with his Impala and they are just as straight
as before... of which they are a perfect 90 degrees...

But... they're made from 1/4" thick steel... and weigh.. well, you
don't want to know.. the foot plate is 10"x4" and they're hung 3 1/4"
below the axel.

Once I sand them up and clean up the welds and paint it, I'll get
pictures.

HAHA I am in the process of making some insane plates that will end up
UNBendable, they are 3/8" thick steel angle iron that is 4-5" across 🙂

im curious, how big should I make the foot plate part?

'These guys' (http://www.onlinemetals.com/) will sell you short lengths
of angle steel/aluminum. The aluminum seems to be about 1/4 theprice
for the same size/length of material.

I was going to make mine 5" wide.. because my boots are 5" wide.. but
we only had 4" wide stock, and it's already heavy enough... I made
them 10" long though, that seems to be a lot more than enough length to
deal with.

Yeah, and its going to take 7/8ths of your muscle power to pick those
plates off the ground and put them on your bc.

Who dosnt like bolts?
