The narrow band of customers who are savvy enough to modify, weld in parts like this...but not quite savvy enough to make their own parts, will only take them so far.
You forget the narrow band of customers that can weld them in and trim them to fit but don't have the tools to make them from flat sheet
I don't have a bead roller, or a brake or a shear or a hole dimple and it is way cheaper to buy something close enough to trim to fit than it is to buy all the tools to make something that well to be honest you are trimming to fit too in a round about way too. Of course that narrow band of customer isn't going to call in and whine about having to trim to fit.
Dealing with retail customers is having to deal with a lot of stupid.
