The Razorback – Part 29: Setting the Thickness of the Armor Panels

In this part of the Razorback video series, we tackle the armor plating and consider just how thick it should be, as well as deciding how it bolts to the underlying machine.

This video takes us through the examination of the lower armor bracket, and then examines the (relatively simple) process of extruding the armor plating to exactly half an inch. Once that’s taken care of we create a pair of simple brackets for the armor to bolt to, and use some heavy duty Allen bolts to hold the replaceable plates in place.
