I'm in the process of fabricating this for my car http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...T01&c=EX&m=all

Since i have extra aluminum stock, I'd figure I'll fabricate a couple more for fellow Z/G owners. Interested? But in order to do this I need 11/16" drill bit (for metal). Anyone has this?

 

I'm interested, I'll look when I get home for that drill bit, might have it might not :P

 

Yes, I need it if it is PN# 105350 or 105355....I will check today.

 

How much?

 

looks like it could fit an 04/05 G35 and 05/06 Z.... and maybe 04... the length can be custom cut anyway.

dunno yet. depends how it takes to make it.

 

I'm interested bro I'm down for getting one But remember my tow hook takes smaller thread size than the others I believe.

 

Count me in. I have a 2003 Z, hope it'll fit.

 

OK so i finally made the DIY zee-brackets. Took me a while to source a 3/4" drill bit. It should fit an 03-04 based the fact that it uses the 'small' bolt tow hook. I cannot install it on mine size my 06 is a larger dia bolt.

 

sweeet! Nice job bro, can you make me one as well? Of course I would either take you to lunch or pay you for it.

 

I am interested in one as well!

 

I ended up using another method to secure the plate holder...

 

Looks good man!

 

yup, looks sturdy.
Any idea on a price and how soon you'll be mass-producing them?


or.... maybe the specs on your design so I can build it? bolt size, length, pitch, and length of that square tube should be all the info I need.

 

I dunno... I bought enough aluminum to make 3 or 4... I dont plan on making any more cuz its a lot of trouble (had to go to different shops to get it cut/drilled/filed)...

a couple of guys will come by to see how well it installs next week... looks like it'll only fit 03-04 G/Zs only because of the smaller thread... if the install works i'll sell the remainding ones for ~$15 and post a DIY

the toughest part is finding a drill bit large enough to bore out a hole.... the cost of the 11/16" drill bit is $20 alone...

 

alright. I guess it wouldn't fit my 06 anyway. Thanks for the pics though. I can see how to build it now.

I have drill bits that large and access to a pipe cutter to make a clean cut on the tube steel. I'll fab a couple up myself for the 2006 Z

 

I already made one of these (instructions from other Z site) and customized it for my '06 last year.
Tried selling them locally but people didn't appreciate the cost of materials and labor involved to make them - all SS bolts/aluminum plus cost of bits, etc.

dkorr... let me know if you want more info on '06 bracket

 

yeah i agree. it took a lot longer than i though. thanks.

 

Just a suggestion... I cut a hole in the plastic backing plate so that I could remove the whole assembly with one wrench without taking the whole thing apart. See attached pic

 

Hmmmm... i want one.
