At Lowes or home depot they sell galvanized metal plates used to male trusses etc. The come prepared drilled with a grid of 1/8th inch holes. They cut easily with tin snips as well. They are handy in that the bend well and have predrolled holes where ever u need them which saves a lot of time on a hot day. 6 or 8 will fix about anything

It's better to be last on the grid at a race track, than have pole position at the Funeral Home.

I was going to pick up scrap aluminum, but that is a great idea.

Thanks
