Weight box options?

Nmbr1GMfan · 10-08-2018, 03:15 PM

Thanks for the replies everyone, Mike's weight box lookes great but it's too wide to fit where I need it. I ordered a box from Calvert, it has a slightly smaller footprint.

I have a Moroso - are they still available?

I saw those, I think they double as either a battery box or a weight box.

Calvert box for the money is a good choice.

Anything John Calvert builds is an excellent
product and fairly priced!

How about steel flat bars as an option? Two 1/2" threaded rods mounted and stack up multiple pieces as needed.

A friend who runs a 390 Mustang did this. Just bolted on steel plates until he had enough weight to move out of the cars natural class that he shared with Brad Burton.

It's okay for a start, but the bolts/ nuts have to be welded.
But one needs a weight box for the ability to fine tune.
Look at the scale variation that occurred last week.
