I started using pieces of kitchen cutting boards as backing plates. The
ones that are about a 1/2 inch thick. They cut with regular saws and will never rust.

I was asking why I definitely need a stainless steel backing plate if I intend to re-attach the T-top frequently. I believe you have answered my question. If I am going to re-attach the T-top very often, *the area where the bolt gets through the desk will not likely to be very water-tight, and will tend to rust the backing plate if the backing plate is not stainless steel*. Thanks for giving me the hint to figure this out. Althought I am not planning to re-attach the T-top repeatedly, I will still use a stainless steel backing plate -- This is kind of a "get it done and don't want to re-visit" kind of task. Jay Chan Say what? You don't want leaking around screws/plates. Use 3M 4200 bedding compound. |

I put my wake tower on with it. I've had two large tubes with as many as 6
teenagers on them attached to the top of the tower without a problem. wrote in message ups.com... I never thought about using HDPE as a backing plate, thats a great idea. Thanks |
