Default rca block question.

Does any know the dimensions of the front rca blocks. I want to make them out of stainless. Also if you have the bolt size that would help.

I made mine from 4041 alum. the bolt is a metric m14x1.5 but its a high grade bolt so its hard to fine...i dont think you can find it commercially like at a hardware store...might have to look online to find it and they are not cheap.

Ya aluminum is the way to go but I think I will go with a higher grade then 4041. I seen the rear ones in pictures, doesn't look to complicated to mill.

AMS 4041? Its actually 2024. Strong as hell, but needs to be coated. It has terrible corrosion resistance.

Just use 6061-T6. Good corrosion resistance, strong, cheap, good to go.
