Anybody sell just the legs that are cut and fish mouthed ready to weld on?
Did I say slider enough? What the hell, oh well, it's there now.

I guess I could just call a company and find out. Was hoping to get a couple leads before I start calling. I'll probably try addicted first.

If you are using square tubing, then you don't fish mouth anything. Just cut to length and proper angle and mount them.

No, I'm using round. I did send you an email asking.

In the email you mentioned using my square tubing like I use on my sliders. So, I am a bit confused. I use 2x2 .188 wall, but don't need to notch them since they mount directly to the inner 2x2 slider itself. Notching 2x2" for 1.75" tubing will leave a gap on the top and bottom and isn't recommended.
If you want some round 1.75" tubing notched I could likely swing that though, but it won't be as thick as the 2x2.

its fairly easy and cheap to make them up yourself like I did. Go to the local metal supply shop and buy a couple feet of your desired size pipe, measure out the distance that you'll want the sliders to protude and leave a little extra to fine tune it later, cut off 6 peices in that length(I used my sawzall) then take them to any sort of metal fab shop and it should'nt be more then a couple bucks for each peice to get them notched.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize your sliders had square tubing. I was thinking round the whole time. But I do like your plate design especially after you said that it's better to weld at an angle on the frame rather than straight up and down...I believe I've heard that before. So yeah, I'm looking for some 1.75" round tube slider legs and plates. If it's a lot of trouble dont worry about it. I have enough tools that I can get it done myself but it would be nice to just buy a set from somebody that does this kinda thing on a daily basis.
The notching was what I'm looking to have done plus no thinking on the measurements for the legs. I already priced the metal and everything....I was just being lazy.
