...That's the beauty of doing stuff yourself Dakkon. Over engineer baby, over engineer! Yeah. In fact, make it 2" plate. Those speakers will never move again. Ever. Not even over your dead body... I don't get it? German Shepherd = Strong Weimaraner = Speed and strength Dead Body = ??? Hmm, maybe they don't use that expression any more? I guess I should finally upgrade to SenseOfHumor 2012...

I believe that that particular piece of bioware forces you to do incremental updates. Before you can load SenseOfHumor2012 you have to load SenseOHumor1984 and then 1990 and so on.
Sorry, just kidding. I'm Beta testing SensOHumor2015 and it has a lot of bugs.

1" steel is complete overkill. You could probably get away with 3/8" AL. 1" steel is complete overkill. You could probably get away with 3/8" AL. Michael, for a static load with nothing acting on it. There would be no need to even think about upgrading to outriggers. However, do you know how much inertia a 100lb German shepherd has running as fast as he can? Well, if you do that makes 1 of us, he has made my M60's go flying like a freaking pinball off of a flapper (The M60's sustained no damage luckily)... we have a 60lb female that he likes to play with every evening at about 6pm, in the family room! He spends most of his play time trying to get away from her after he starts he keeps returning for more until they are both worn out. Part of the reason I put the 600's on either side of the 60's was an attempt to protect the 60's. So far, he hasn't been able to knock one of the 600's over (thank goodness). Over kill, michael, you're the one with a 500hp car brotha ..... Heed your own sentiments, Michael - Try this next time - assume positive intent.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Today i went to the steelworks place and talked with the guy who has been helping me. He showed me all of their machines. With the 1" thickness there were two options, flame cut, or waterjet. Waterjet @1" was going to be almost 300$ each materials+machine time.
So, the final decision was to go with 3/4" material, and get that material cut on their plasma machine. This will result in a net cost of 200$ for the pair of outriggers. Due to getting the material cut on the plasma cutter, i will have to drill holes on my drill press at the house, and them tap them by hand. To do this i will get a 1:1 printout of the autocad drawing that the shop is using to cut the parts, to ensure all the holes are in the proper locations..
The parts should be ready in 2-3 days. I will post some photos when i receive them, as well as some more when i am drilling the holes. The outriggers may be ready just as my LFR's arrive.

The outriggers may be ready just as my LFR's arrive. Yes, but the LFR's have their own outrigger's. So that is kind of a moot point. Giving you a hard time.

yes, they do.. But, Shawn... They don't have 100lb outriggers ;), the feet on these are also longer, so they should provide more support in that area as well.
Shawn, the pink in the second drawing are the factory outriggers.

no, the LFR's are deeper than them M60's the mounting holes are not in the same position. if you look at the first picture, the back set of holes are for the LFR's, the blue set is for the M60's. I could possibly use the LFR outriggers on the M60's but i would have to drill a set of holes in them to be able to mount them to the M60's. I can't tell from the geometry if there would be enough material to drill a hole for the M60's while being structurally sound... I will look into it when everything arrives.
I may get some 1/4" outriggers cut for the M60's. I think 1/4" outriggers would be about 100$ish.
When i was there today they had just finished cutting some 10inch thick pieces... Now, that was freaking thick!

Here is one of the parts that was cut earlier this week. I picked it up today. The over all weight is 35lbs. Here is a side view, the material is 3/4" thick. Here are the tools that i will be using. The drill bits are Cleveland drill bits, American made bits. The center bit is a counter bore bit for 1/4 20 allen head screws, also an American made bit. The cutting oil, is what a machinist buddy of mine told me to get to lubricate the cutting head. I am thinking i will either get them power coated, or paint them with automotive paint.. However, that decision will be made at a later date, after all of the machining is done.
