Edit: The latest versions are run on a $600k laser cutter and the vendor does the counter sunk holes if you want.
My design, cut on a CNC plasma cutter table. I've got a counter sink bit and matching flat-head hex machine screws for it. Still some adjusting to do. I might bring it down and redrill that lowest hole there on the right. I had him leave the lowest hole on the left, so I could move it around. There's not much metal behind it.
If you look at the pics at the end of my 'after' thread, you can see that the flares move the wheel opening rearwards about 2" to match how the axle is sitting on fj62 springs.
The basic shape of the flare opening is traced off my other fj40, which is uncut.
