Does anyone have any pictures of their butt rib close outs? I see KitFox offers them for ~$50, but I'm pretty sure they are just simple pieces of aluminum. I'm just looking to see what others have done.
Thanks

Here's mine. I made them myself out of 0.012 aluminum, similar to the factory ones. You do need access to a bending brake to get good sharp bends where it fits around the square door frame tube.
I also included pics of my cuffs, also made from 0.012 aluminum. That was quite a fussy job.

Here are a few pics.. They do need to be trimmed and tweaked some.. as everyone sets the Butt Rib slightly different.

I bought some aluminum from home depot and made mine. Quite a bit of work.
I just used a 90° bent piece glued to rib and door frame.
