steviedee Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just bought a gator rack to hold some of my new gear but my cabs seem a little bit slim for it and I dunno it seems like it could slide about. Anyone have any top tips about how to secure it? I was thinking maybe velcro or I could use some kind of ties on the handles of my cab to the handles of the rack. Any ideas?

BOD2 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Sticky velcro tape is usually pretty good for this type of thing, and it's secure as all the weight pressing down will ensure the tape can't go anywhere. If you're handy and can be bothered, you could make a sort of wooden "tray" that sits on top of the cabinet with stoppers front and back to prevent it moving at all. You could then cut holes in the tray surface where the feet from the rack would sit and that way nothing could move. If I was doing this I'd put some foam on the underside of the tray to dampen vibrations from the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Rubber car mat, just put it on your cab, then put the gator case on top. Added advantage is it stops any scratching of your precious cab too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
