A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

You can use Aluminum, just be aware that it doesn't like to flex so I would err on the side of using thicker stock than if I was to use Steel. The added benefit with thicker stock is it's easier to find flat & to keep it flat as you work it. It's pretty critical in a caliper hanger.
That stock slayer is using looks a good thickness. The aluminum brackets I made years ago were about that thickness (I originally only made a handful of sets for myself & a couple of others. They were CNC machined. Currently they are steel with a powdercoat. It allows for a neater finish the way those brackets work and at scale is MUCH more cost effective. The sets I have produced would be at least 2-3x the cost in aluminum.
As a one off I'd probably buy some aluminum stock & work with that. Even thicker it's still much easier to work. Good luck!
