Loan? Loan is a 4 letter word. Try 3 letters, buy, own, pay...

I agree! But you can't tell me you didn't picture it and laugh when you read it.

This thing is almost ready. It's quick and dirty but I'm thinking it'll work. Gonna make sure it clears everything before I weld what's left of some socket onto it and cut the notches into it. I need to fill the void in under the socket as well.
Not sure how you think that custom CNC tooling is a quick and dirty affair. In my world a quick and dirty solution would be a pipe wrench or an acetylene torch or a large hammer.

Well you can see I rammed the drill into the I'd not once but twice and made that big divot on the top by drilling to far to part it off lol. I had to rush it though. Hoping to be done with it tomorrow. I also scored a plate for the hydroboost too...just need to pop some holes.
Is the metal in that socket able to be welded to the piece you made? I assume that socket isn't normal carbon steel.

That I don't know. A guy at my work said it's no biggie. I was going to take it to the welders at work since I'm a newb.
If it's a no go then I'll just mill the square into the piece itself. I just found the cut down socket some poor sap made lol. Sparks fly when you cut that crap.
You'll be able to weld the socket fine, been there done that before lol
