I am not sure what you mean "Did we machine the flat plate from billet." We machined the parts from plate aluminum that we bought.

The down tubes already have square holes in them because they are tubes. If you are asking if we machined the square holes down the tubes, then no, we just used aluminum tubing. But, I guess we could have machined the square holes if we would have wanted to. I am not sure answered your question???
