Has anyone put casters on their amps? Looking for some good quality wheels to put on my Mustang IV V2 amp.
Thank you
Michael

No I haven't but there are casters of all sizes and should be easy to find. Just make sure you're in the right place on all four corners and you pre drill it very carefully. Think dental implant. Slowly drill the hole wider and wider and if you are dealing with fiber board maybe an inside wall of epoxy to keep the hole strong.

I'm thinking of putting casters on my MIV, I've seen several sizes in Home Depot.

I think you 'd be better off using bolts with large washers on the inside, instead of a screw fixing. Casters will take a lot of knocks and you don't want the chipboard case breaking up.

I had casters on my Twin. You might try calling Fender and ask about these with your amp but yes whatever works.

PIcked up some 2" Casters today at Home Depot these are rated for 90 lbs, cost less than $20 for 4 Casters and #14x3/4 screws. Here is the part # I used http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-2-i ... /203661054

Looks like a perfect fit! Can you post a close up shot of the interior corner showing the bolt, washer, and nut fastener.

Was at Harbor Freight not long ago and saw an inexpensive Dolly that might also fit the bottom of the MIV.

I decided not to use bolts for now I used #14 Wood screws but there similar diameter to a 1/4-20 bolt and at 3/4 long it wont go through the cabinet but still in very deep. These screws feel very strong!

Not only caster wheels but hitching rings as well from the Home Depot :x The hitching rings work very well for transporting the amp with tiedown straps to keep it from moving around in the vehicle. The material construction of the amp is more than satisfactory for receiving the mounting screws without any stripping.

I put a set bought on amazon.com on my white Mustang III v2. Sweet now, easy pushing it around rather than snapping your spine lifting it all over. This set, very cheap yet strong steel design;

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJ ... UTF8&psc=1

Remove the 4 rubber feet from the amp, use those screws, one for each wheel into existing hole thru wheel's base and then get another shorter wood screw for diagonal side of the wheel base or drill screws in all 4 holes of the base if you feel the need to secure it that much.
