SendCutSend

[11Budlite]

I've heard a lot about SendCutSend over the last couple of years and thought I would give them a try. I figured I would do something simple so did a quick design for steering rack shims/spacers to adjust bump steer. Went to there template section and selected 'Square Link', and input the following specs:

 

Width: 2.8"

Height: 0.8"

Corner Rad: 0.4"

Left Hole: 0.25"

Right Hole: 0.25"

Distance Between Centers: 2.0"

 

I ended up ordering the shims in 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4" thicknesses. I ordered 22 pcs and it came to a little over $31 with a discount code from one of the YT channels. They even threw in a couple extra for free. Although they would have been very simple to fabricate, the time saved letting SCS do it was worth it to me. It took 6-7 days from the time I submitted the design to when I rec'd the parts. There was a little clean up of burrs on one side of the shim from the cutting operation but easily done with a stone or file. Overall very happy and would use them again.

Thanks for discussing the quality of the results from SCS.   Most of what I've seen is through sponsored videos, which is hard to trust.

Nice! I made almost the exact same parts through them, but all 1/16" thick, I like the thickness variety of yours.

Here are mine. Looking at them now, I'm not sure why I didn't use stainless steel. But as far as the work from SendCutSend is concerned, I'm completely satisfied. In terms of cost, it's always a personal calculation: How much time will it take me to make them myself with limited tools, will they look as nice and function as well, etc.. There's also a pretty significant per item cost savings for higher quantities.
