@Doc02864 the plastic is very strong. Its not a cheap plastic, like found in kid toys. It will be able to support a lot of weight. If you are nervous about it, I would at least try it because its much cheaper than the steel version you referred to. If you end up not liking the plastic one, at least it was only a few dollars wasted.
I'm using 5151, same diameter sizes as 1651, however both have one drawback being limited angular movement, if you file down the forks a little further it will produce much better results, keep an eye out for my stabilizer, i will be uploading the footage as soon as it's completed (Hopefully this weekend

How strong is the plastic? Nervous about making mine with plastic, found an all steel version for $25 but it might be a little hard to drill and tap.
