Re: Bridge question

We got two 50-lb flat weights. At 14" diameter, they fit nicely between the two center support trapezoids. We put a 2x4 block across with just enough room to fit the weights without slopping around.

A carriage bolt that goes down from the top of the bridge, through the hole in the weights, and through the 2x4, holds them in place. With a wing-nut, the bolts are easily removed when we have to store the bridge.

Thanks to our Pit Captain, Tulsa, for working this problem through.
