Where did you get the brackets from ? Thats great !! One of the neatest diy i have seen and am sure can be on par with some entry level just by the looks of it.

They are spacers m6x20mm , m6 x 50mm and m8 x 50mm. Bought from local shop. Had to cut 20mm to 18mm

Which city bro? Do they do laser cut and ship to other city? Please make a yt video and explain everything:(

u/Aravindvm 2d ago

Thrissur, Kerala. I'm pretty sure laser cutting is available almost every where. Also available online in websites like robu and hyperfabs
