Sweatin' in Arizona... but it's a dry heat!

Kevin - I see that you have casters on your RC Cola Ideal55.  Can you send me a pic of how they're mounted? I'd like to put some on mine.  It has holes that would accept the posts but nothing else. I'm not sure how well they would stay on if they were just put on with bolts.  On the square tops I've had the legs were threaded into a bolt that was welded to the base.

If anyone else has pics or description, I'd appreciate it.

If the post threads are 3/8" 16 threads per inch then you can get these at your local hardware store.  I picked some up for my Cavalier at Menards (I would imagine that Home Depot and Lowes should have them too).  They had quite a variety of them.   They just screw in to the place where the posts were.

Not sure how I started the thread in coim mechs??  '<img'>

Anyway - my slider only has holes where the caster posts would go...  no welded nut.  Question is whether or not a washer and nut on the caster post would be stable enough?

Hello

I did a check of mine today & the wheels are held in place by bolts, nuts & washers.
