Hi

What difference did you find with the stainless steel strip along the bottom?

How heavy it is?

Thanks

Well Mike, it is'nt stainless steel, its made from hardalu. I did it in this way, so I
did'nt have to make a front piece and a rear T piece. It's very easy to make and in my opinion it's much stronger then 2 seperate ones. And less bottoming, only the strip can hit the track!! (sorry for my broken English)...........Appie.

Ahh OK that keeps the weight down

Going to get one made the same so thanks for the idea

Mike

[Appie53]

Hi Appie,

Is it MADe () of MgSi composite? Could you share the precise width and length of the alu piece you installed on the bottom of the RAT?

Cheers, Las

I just got it at my local construction market.
size: 3mm-30mm and lenth 134,5mm.

I first bend the front in the angle, then located the screwholes!!
When doing this the other way arround, locate the screwholes first and then bend the strip, the holes will get dislocated.

Goodluck and sorry for my broken English
