I'm with you on the $60 - plus they are out of stock anyway. I think I'm going to make my own also. I have 2mm round stock and some 2.5mm flat stock and I just ordered a 2mm die, so for under $20 I can make as many as I want.

I'm going to cut up some old servo mounts to make the plates. I'll drill them before I cut out each plate, that way I can make up a drill jig for the spacing.
