You don't want 1/4" steel.  1/4" Aluminum would be far lighter.

PM me a template.

I'll be happy to look at it.

Be sure to include scaling references for both X and Y, so I can determine if the drawing is distorted.

Be aware that for the brake side you need to have a bushing and housing to support the rear brake. I think that riser plates are an easier method to increase ground clearance and riding position with minimal design work.

I like those riser plates.  What do you do with the shifter?  Rotate the lever up?
