Proofs in the pudding.... or on the scale. There is 27oz of wood on that scale. All from the motor box and the formers. Yes it takes some time... but I just made up for a set of cans.... "free of charge" in the weight department. |

One last comment about the motor box lightning.... The hole are designed to be used only with cans... Reason being that there will be a mid plate that spans the entire length of the motor box from F-4 to F-1. This plate forms the tunnel for the cans. This adds alot of structural integrity back to the box as well as tensional rigidity. I would leave at least another 1/2" of material on the cutouts if using mufflers with no plate. |
