There is a whole lot more to a girdle than a piece of metal and the tools to make holes. Do you need steel or aluminum? Do you plan to bolt through the cast caps? Bolt to the cast caps? Bolt through custom steel caps? Bolt to custom steel caps? Do you have a weight problem? What kind of pressures do you think you're facing? If someone were to write a book on tractor pulling there would need to be a whole chapter on girdles alone. Experience is the only true teacher of some of these highly intimate parts of tractor pulling and we've had our share here. By the way we have a used 6 cyl. girdle here and a new 4 cyl. girdle also, both steel. Dale

Or, buy a peice of steel yourself and transfer the holes and take it to someone one with a plasma cutter or water jet and save a bunch of money. There is no magic to making a girdle. I have seen them cut out with a torch also then cleaned up with a grinder. Don't throw your money away with someone who going to make 1000 dollars off a 100 dollar peice.
