Re: Weight for the BOM

Dave.... you are correct.... however there are usually other items that weigh more and if removed will not weaken the structure.

Consider.......
Using Alum washers in place of steel
Using Alum clamp collars or even elim. the collar and replacing with a roll pin
Best of all.... using alum rivit in place of steel fasteners

I also like letting the air out of the IFI Traction wheels.....

Other weight saving ideas??????
