I haven't seen any similar threads here on building a 26 performer using the 22 performer frame, so here goes:
Parts
26" NIB Performer off Craigslist - $150.00
Gen 2 or 3 Performer off Craigslist - $40.00
1/8 Steel Plate to Fab some brackets - $13.00
4' of 1/1/2" Aluminum Bar - $18.00
3/8" plywood for table
Rivets, nuts and screws.
Instructions:
Fabricate some brackets from 1/8 plate to attach kettle to frame.
Attach kettle to frame with brackets.
Toss the old performer table and cut the lower frames down the middle.
Use aluminum bar to connect lower frame supports.
Voila, 26" performer.
Really, I'm gonna put a decent top on it, but the plywood works in a pinch.
Still working on the gas assist, but think I'll put it on too.
