Pretty sharp. Darn shiney.

 

WOOO WEEEEE. perty[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Wow! Cool, but why?

 

it will make it much easyer to tie smaller things down with out fallin through. Oh btw it doesmt weigh as mush as youd think, just a couple of pounds each

 

Beauty job eh. That's nice. I have cracked both my cheap plastic rack covers and would like to replace them with something durable and attractive. What thickness of alum checkered plate did you use? Did you make up any plans? How much did the finished job cost you ?(materials and labour)

 

Well Jett, i dint have any plans, i just turned my rack upside down on the diamond plate and traced / and cut it out it out. Next i had the shop that i bought the metal at take and bend a piece 1 inch X 1/2 inch X 10 feet long and i cut each corner and hand bent it. As I went along i had to clamp it at each corner. After i had it all clamped I took a piece of plywood and made a jig to hold it in place so the welder could weld it. The final step i need to do is im gonna get the rino liner sprayed on it to protect it, and to cut down on the shine. All said and done each plate will weigh 2 pounds. The total price i have invested will be about 100 bucks for both.

 

What diameter of alum checker plate did you use? I'm going to give this project a try. I hope it looks as good as your turned out.

 

Well sorry i dont know what guage it is , but i put a mic on it and on the thinest part its 65 thousandths, and on the thickest its 95 thousandths. Sorry i cant be more helpfull then that, if that doesnt help let me know and ill call the supplier and ask him what it is. Later, Rob
