Skid plate cost

[tommyswheelin]

What's the avg cost for material to make alum skid plate?

Depends on supplier but for 1/2" 6061 it will be around $45 sq ft

EOR can get it cut to the exact dimensions you need to save waste and cost

I bought some 1/2" 5052 aluminum for mine and I ordered a piece cut to size from these guys: http://www.discountsteel.com/items/5052_Aluminum_Plate.cfm?item_id=125&size_no=4

I paid a little over $300 which included shipping. It beats buying a whole sheet if you don't need it.
