    Re: MAH Assembly

    I am considering supporting the 15 cu.ft. cabinet on rubber tyred wheels at the rear and short solid legs at the front. Bottom panel X-braced. Timber floor on bearers on concrete stumps. Spikes don't appeal to me. Is this an OK arrangement?

    Cheers, Marshall.

    Re: MAH Assembly

    Same basic flooring construction as mine except concrete columns are assembled with concrete blocks.

    I guess it depends on the tire's physical properties, though whatever it is should in theory be matched at the front. FWIW, my ~20 ft^3 cabs have rigid, high durometer rubber casters at the bottom rear with handles higher up for some ~back friendly mobility even up/down steps with a helper, so only contact the floor if tilted back a bit. The bottom has a thin sheet of cork like used to line tool chest drawers to allow them to be slid around on the floor for minor position adjustments or move them out of the corners enough to gain access to the handles.

    Re: MAH Assembly

    I have some 3 inch fibreglass/rockwool type insulation. Is this too thick to use in a large enclosure?

    Much too thick, 1 or max 1,5 inch is perfect.

    Gees, that puts any of my construction quality/bracing schemes to shame..........

    Re: MAH Assembly

    Ping GM,

    I am about to mount the 2"x4" braces to the enclosure panels.
    I have some construction adhesive. Would you use the adhesive as a contact adhesive or in a glue and clamp(screws) method? The former is obviously easier.

    Marshall.
