I've scrounged much of the aluminum angle, flat, round & expanded/flattened mesh needed to build a copy of the FAV Radio Shelf/Deck (do we have proper nomenclature for it yet?
Detailed drawing from Roger have given me a 35.5in max width, 21in length front to rear.
Flat bar & angle stock are 1/4" thick.
For right now I need to get clarification on the front crossways base 35.5in wide. I bought a 36in PC of extruded 4x4 6061 aluminum angle, the forward facing wall remains 4in high, with fifteen 1.25in ID holes drilled in the center with 1in spacing ( or 2.25in Center to Center).
The bottom needs to get trimmed down from the 4in wide, to about 1.5 to 1.75in wide according to this pic Roger sent me:
This part looks like it was originally made on a bending brake, the corner having a radius shape to it. So once the final leg width is determined I will use a corner rounding mill or carbide router bit to radius the corner to simulate the folded construction, the extruded angle having a pre-existing radius formed into it, no major loss of material than can create a weak corner with resulting stress fractures from the immense communication equipment mass bouncing with the terrain.
