Default Which Material?
Well with the amount of mounting pressure that I put on my Fuzion, the top mounting plate has become pretty bent.

What would be a good material to make a new mounting plate out of that won't bend? I'm not sure what the stock fuzion plate is made out of, but I think it's aluminum. Not positive.

Well how much does brass go for nowadays? Enough for just one mounting plate.

Bass is a soft metal, you might end up bending that too. Stainless steel was the first thing that I thought of.
