Ingenuity, for sure. I'd like it a lot if the plates had a stability or tie bar between them. But, they are clever.

I have them. Good fit. The nuts are the best part. No weak link from machining a recessed hole.

Van lives here in Phoenix and I have seen all his parts up close...They are some of the best made parts on the market. You can tell he puts alot of time into designing them....

I guess you're referring to me. I clicked on the link given by the OP, in which there were no installed photos. Thanks for supplying me with the other link.
