So it's looking like no chance in me getting my torque plates back, I have had to borrow a set myself several times in the past two years. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be a nice guy and lend stuff out. They get tied up in an estate, and auctioned off, . It's a shame but now a days you best have a contract for anything, even just lending someone something because if something happens to them and there spouse or head of estate won't take your word that there yours then your screwed.
Anyway since in my case i only use them 2 or 3 times a year I'm wondering if the billet aluminum ones would work ok for my needs verse the much more expensive steel plates.
