The drawing supplied indicates the supplies necessary for one side of the MBrace so when you order your materials for a pair of MBraces, you will need to double the order shown on the material list. Each vibraphone requires a pair of MBraces. Parker IPS can do all of the work for you from drilling holes to tapping and assembling. However, the cost in doing so is very expensive. If you have a saw that can accurately cut aluminum, you can save even more money by purchasing uncut profiles and doing the saw cuts yourself. I recommend having Parker do all the saw cuts and do the drilling, tapping and assembling yourself. Vendor Telephone Numbers:
Parker IPS at 1-800-333-4932 for Items I thru 16 on your material list. McMaster-Carr (562) 463-4277 for Items 17, 18, and 19. J.W. Winco 1-800-877-8351 for Item 20.
Tools needed: 1. Drill Press with 7mm , 9mm (or) drill bits and a vise. Note 1: If you do not have the metric size drill bits, you can substitute American Standard English decimal sizes: 9/32nds for the 7mm and 11/32nds for the 9mm. Note 2: if you do not have a drill press, Parker/IPS can drill the holes for you for an additional fee. This is especially helpful on the clamps (detail "A" and detail "B" in the drawing). The other parts can easily be drilled with a hand drill. Note 3: I have included a drawing of an optional tool that is helpful in marking the holes for clamps (Details A and B). 2. Hand Drill
