[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8166445, member: 718"] Which reminds be that even though there’s a round bar holding my JD weights through the vertical centre hole on the MF carrier, as [not seen] in the picture above, I doubt whether the thinner than JD bar necessary to fit is enough to stop the weights falling off as an unit if bounced with enough energy. The reason being that the gap underneath the block of weights is slightly more than the depth of the lip where they hook on. Therefore a 6mm flat bar should be secured as a spacer between the bottom of the carrier and the weights across their full width. This can be drilled and the carrier tapped upwards to permanently secure the spacer bar by two bolts so it need not be removed and refitted with the weights. This is not shown in the pictures, mainly because I hadn’t thought about it at the time [which is how accidents could so easily happen]. It has since been fitted but a temporary means of holding the flat iron in place is used so far. [/QUOTE]
