I may have missed it but why not steel sheet/plate uprights with a bolt on hub? No or minimal machining required. If you did it right, the cost of paying someone to do the small amount of machining would be negligible compared to buying some "jack of all trades, expert at none" 3 in 1.
That's the plan so far, but trying to pull a Carnac the Magnificent and see into the future. The envelope please!!!
I'm tossing out the idea to folks that have been there before and trying to find out in hind sight, if they had the knowledge then that they do now, would they have done it differently? Is it a tool they wish they had?
I realize that nothing on this car requires it. But as a "man" I am bound by man law to collect tools!
I will have one eventually, I have too many hobbies that could benefit from it (R/C Cars and Helis, Paintball, Air Rifles...) but is it something truly useful for me now?

Never become a pessimist. A pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.-Robert A. Heinlein
