Well, I wasn't quite sure were to post this but this seemed the best fit spot.
I Really have been wanting a Y-Grip for a while, but have trouble budgeting a new one (maybe in a while). But I Managed to fab this thing up with a hack saw and some JB Weld.
I cut it were the red line is and flipped it, moving it down a bit. Then clamped the two pieces to a piece of wood with small spring clamps. Made sure the bottom was as parallel as possible. Used some tape to hold the JB weld in place and let it sure over night. After some quick sanding its basically ready for play (hopefully this saturday). SorrY I didn't grab any pics while I was making this, it was a last minute idea and I jumped right on it.
Seems to be quite sturdy, I'm not sorried about it breaking on the field but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I plan to make some custom panels obviously, either out of 1/4 marine plywood I have or 1/4 inch aluminum. I may go with the raw aluminum to match the rail. I'll probably make both and see which I like best.
I can't post pics here, only gives me one upload and when I try to attach a pic it gives me an error, so heres some pics on MCB:
