Anyone in the twin cities area good at welding? I need a bracket made for one of my Corbeau seat brackets. I'll provide cash or beer for anyone that can help. I need this done before April 30th. I'm available after 5pm during the week, but I'll be out of town visiting family this weekend for Easter. Here are a few pics of the factory mount, the Corbeau bracket, and a drawing I put together of what I need.

Also, if you have any 3/16 or 1/4" steel that would make it a lot easier. Otherwise I'm sure there's a local supplier that I could pick some up from.

First Gear ( http://firstgeargarage.com/index.php?action=about ) gave me a great deal on front rotors - they have a few sets for RX-8s at this price - here is what they said:

I spoke to Frozen Rotors and they have a pair of Powerslot Cryo Treated Rotors for your car that they are trying to manage inventory on. I could get those for $123.50/each. That is an exceptional. Some people have not been happy with PowerSlot rotor quality since they were bought by Centric. But Frozen Rotors tells me these are "old" production PowerSlot...in other words the best quality.

This is just a bit above OEM for this car.

A local autox guy was able to build a mount and weld it up last night. Thanks for the offer though.
