I Herd you liek custom cases so I built a case for your case so customs can check out yo custom...
Whatever...
Guys I built a HUGE ATA Case for the Rig so it can safely be shipped to Canada and Customs won't just tear open some crate and leave the rig vulnerable to damage after they search it for contraband.
Check this out...
Still needs to be lined in foam...which should arrive in a day or two.
I have to finish sealing the interior with 3M Fast Cure 5200 Adhesive Caulk (the white stuff up top)
The piano hinge, male/female lip extrusion and butterfly latches will keep the case sealed during transit.
Spring loaded recessed handles on each side will give the Gorillas something to latch onto as they toss it from the plane.
Corner casters will help the client get the rig home.
4 bumpers elevate and secure the case in transit.
They are through-bolted and glued into place
When rolling the feet are out fo the way
When flat the feet stabilize the case and elevate the casters just a hair.
31" x 31" x 14" this is a large ATA case.
Close to 300 3/16" x 1/2" rivets were used
Lip extrusions were backmitred to leave a continous edge at each corner
A fillet of 4200 Adhesive caulk in each vertice will not only seal up the case but strengthen it as well.
Latches are bedded in 4200 as well to make them watertight and to glue them into the ply.
Recessed Spring Loaded handles are bedded with 4200 into morticed ply
The handles are rivetted through the ply into straps to distribute the load.
