For the sides i would like to take a piece of 1 4 plate steel that is 10 long bend 3 90 degree corners and then weld the 4th where the ends of the plate come together. Last time i bought plate i bought a sheet they cut it in 3 pieces made 2 bends in each of the 2 pieces and loaded it in my truck.

Then on the back side cut about half way through with a cut off wheel. If the steel has a tensile reduction value of 10 percent divide 50 by that value. Build this brake from scrap steel. Lay out the sheet you want to bend and mark it with a sharpie.
