Re-enforcement tunnel for RMK PRO 2011-2012

[Effika]

Hi every body

I have fixed a RMK 2011 that had a craked TUNEL, by created
laser cut styled stainless plates, in order to solidify the walls.
Parts are high quality and efficients. The support surfaces are larger
than the original ones. For greatest strengh, they attach to the footstools bolts and rivets were added and fixed to coolers rails (at the top of).

Just wanted to share this with owners that would be interested in this kind of product.

The complete kit includes:
2 stainless 304 reinforcement plates. 100 inches thick laser cut.
2 inner stainless 304 reinforcement plates 16G laser cut
42 Avinox BE61 high quality stainless rivets http://www.avdel-global.com/en/products/breakstem-fasteners/avinoxr.html
42 stainless steel washers

100% made in Canada

Looks like a great product. I've heard of a few cracking there, might be an awesome seller as a reasonably priced solution.

Thanks!

so is aluminum not strong enough? thats why you used stainless? i like it, just wondering if the diamond s boards that i want will fit with that plate.

I dont know, good question......i dont have there a diamods boards for make a test


And for the material, the OEM plates are in aluminum, and they warp. To be sure of the stiffness, the ss seem to be a good choice. No rust, good looking and rigidity. Ok, .100 of inch can be over killl, but more is better than not enough!

Aluminum against steel.....doesn't that create some sort of increased corrosion? I remember something about that in my "strengths of materials" class I had in college...

Edit:

Here's what I found after a quick google:

Some sort of impermeable but lightweight barrier between the two pieces would be helpful, but you're still going to have galvanic corrosion at the rivets/fasteners. Maybe the cold temps will slow the rate of corrosion by keeping the moisture in ice form, but this is a perfect setup for galvanic corrosion.

Ordered a set, going to powder coat before install.
