[NRVR-Members] DIY Rail Pad

[Jordan Truesdell]

Depending on how much you need, it may be cheaper to order it from Speedy
Metals. If you can tell me how much you need I can ask my welder to have
BMG metals put it on his next shipment (usually he gets a shipment every
week or two), though you'd have to buy a full stick (20'). He doesn't do a
lot in Aluminum, so he may or may not have stock on the yard.
