I could easily make a similar plate, even thicker and out of bizoloy for probably $10 max in material cost, plus say $15 worth of bolts and washers.
Are these "bought" ones tested and stamped with a load rating?
No, I don't make them, and not trying to drum up work, but I tell ya what, I'm thinking of it!!
Go for it ferret - I'll take two fronts mounts thanks!! I agree mate - seems a lot of coin for some smallish pieces of metal - and for that money, they'd want to have a load rating stamped on them!!
