Default Homemade tc drop

Has anyone made their own tc drop spacers? It can't be hard. Not sure about dimensions & hole spacing. I have some 1" thick aluminum. Would that work? Thanks.

Seems pretty simple I'd say go for it... you'll probably need longer bolts though

I made mine from 1.5 round steel rod. Chopped them in 1 inch lengths and drilled holes through them.

Mine is made from 1" square stainless tubing. The tubing started life as part of a shelving unit.

Washers stacked and new bolts. Makes them adjustable and just a washer or two can change the driveline angle enough to add or reduce vibes. Good if testing.
