 Not bad if it truly comes out at that weight.

BTW people the subject of inspection holes has come up in the past. If you
want
inspection or cooling  holes it is easy to use a 3 or 4 inch hole saw and
cut
them your self. It is hard to cast them in.

Thanks Paul,

I was wondering how I was going to get one in there because of the casting
problems.

Can you also confirm that Tracy's PSRU diameter is
6 7/8"   I need to assess the diameter of the internal pad.

Also is everyone happy with the starter dimensions ?

Working on those stiffeners today - strange as it may seem I have some of
that 3mm door face material, I will have to thicken the base somehow and
taper it both sides.

What depth do you want of the stiffeners at the top front edge, I'm thinking
about 12 to 15mm.
How would you prefer the inside bottom stiffeners, like a spokes on a wheel
or horizontal from the sides and vertical from and bottom. I'm leaning to
the latter.

6 7/8 sounds about right. Tracy?

12 to 15 mm sounds OK for the stiffners.
Spokes on the wheel.
