I need a piece of sheet metal that is bent at 90 degrees.  2"x2"x5" .  Where would you try to source that?  I've been looking for boxes to cut up....

 

It is for a minidash to mount on the atv when I raise the bars

I could do that easy. And have access to metal and the brake.

I have to fab sheet metal almost on a daily basis.If you are familiar with autocad scetch something up just to make sure I'm on the same page..pretty sure your meaning a 2"x2" bent at 90 degrees 5" in length. I could center those 4-5/8 holes as well.

Holy hell.  Stop...

and thank you.  I will get you exactly what I need.  I'd be glad to pay for it as well.  I need to measure a bit better, but am in bed and dont want to fuck up. :P

I am a PM for a large steel fab shop if you need other stuff down the road. ;)

Thanks guys.  See if this makes any sense.  I figured instead of a picture or two I would make a quick document.  In pdf form, I can surely change that if you can't open it.

Shows what I am trying to build.  Reviewing the picture I need to verify the 4.75", but the rest is good.

Optical illusion.  4.75 is perfect.

Congrats to her. Any prayer of at least partial telecommuting?

Sean I can do that. So you decided on 4.75 in length?

To space those 5/8 holes out with 3/16 in between each hole we need a minimum of 3.25 to work with.I did a  fast rough scetch on paper to explain what I'm getting at.The holes are on point at 5/8's as well just didn't mark them on drawing.

I know it is over 3", but only 0.0625" so I didn't think it mattered much other than for centering it of course.

10/16*4 = 40/16

3/16*3 = 9/16

49/16 = 3.0625" or 3 1/16"

Am I nuts?

I had planned on indexing it forward.  Feel odd if I have a new "washer" underneath all 4 handlebar bolts.  Either was going to trim around 2 or slide it forward which buys me another 1/16".  I am still confused at where the extra 3/16" came from in your drawing as I can't argue with it.  Funny how much more clear what you made fast is than what I did all complicated and shit.

I agree with the math . I will lay it out on some metal and see how it all plays out. We could probably subtract some for the width of the ball point pen on my sketch lol..Didn't think it would add up to that much...I know what your wanting now though.

And if they were a bit closer than 3/16" it'd be fine.  I would just blast the first two here and then do the inner two how they look best since I have no way of measuring.
