Mounting Font To Chest Freezer

[Fingerlickin_B]

Howdy folks,

Well I'm preparing to mount a 3 tier font to my chest freezer lid and don't want it to be wobbly from the lid flexing when I pull on the taps.

How did you go about reinforcing yours?

My only plan so far is to remove the lid lining and place a sheet of marine ply directly against the underside of the lid, with a coach bolt at each corner to secure it (coach bolts to keep it looking neat on top) and obviously sandwiched by the font in the centre.

I know my idea will work, just wondering how others have tackled this problem.

Has your font got a drip tray like this


If so, not a problem

I've got the same sort of drip tray here as well.
Will one day put on full timber top.


As yet have no movement.

Nah, just this for now:

Well, turned out to be ok as the foam in the lid is really dense and the plastic lining much thicker than I imagined it would be, plus I made the hole a very tight fit.

Wobbles a tiny bit if you grab hold of it and shove it around, but pouring, no problem at all :beerbang:
