Weber Genesis Platinum, I bought in Wausau,Wisconsin. Will be drastically modified.

I'm just kind of concerned about quality, I mean how good can it be for 32 bucks for 4 of them

Actually as much as I hate buying Chinese stuff there are cases where the quality is as good or better than others yet price is way low. I'd responded about something like this in a knife thread elsewhere here. I have some beautiful German knives Henkel. Wustorf and such. But I needed a couple others to round things out. And stumbled onto a set (from China of course) on Amazon for ridiculously low price (like $40 for a boxed set of 3). Honestly figured they'd be "OK" and good for "knock around" knives. But nooooo. These things are every bit the equal of the VERY expensive German stuff I have. So good in fact they're my "go to" ones. That I pick up first when I need a knife. I still shake my head at how beautifully they're made.
So, while much stuff from there is awful and very poorly made, you do get things that surprise the outta you

 

[MarkCuda]

Yes, there are times I am surprised at the Chinese quality.
I'm not a buy American fanatic, I buy items based on cost and quality, I try to buy American made stuff but it's getting more difficult.

I can't find any weld on plates that are stainless.
Otherwise I can use stainless flat stock but I'll have to drill 16 holes.

There might be a food grade or a caster made for biotech made out of stainless but it would probably be pricey.

I would probably use a plastic plate or something non conductive between the two dissimilar metals

 

[MarkCuda]

I think I'm going to weld a 1/2 inch nut in all 4 legs and use a stem caster like this.
I think it would look much more of a cleaner installation.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I like that idea! I wasn't sure how big of casters you could get with a threaded stem. How are you going to handle the axle stubs that are currently welded to the legs?

 

[MarkCuda]

Cut them off.

 

[Bruce]

You can mount a couple of these on the stubs.

 

[Cody Bratton]

are they heat resistant?

 

[MarkCuda]

Bruce, them don't look strong enough

 

[Bruce]

Plenty strong enough. And they won't get near the heat, so you don't have to worry about that

 

[Bruce]

Just think how cool you look out there with those pinwheels spinning on your grill, while you're grilling on a windy day

 

[MarkCuda]

I'm definitely feeling it

 

[MarkCuda]

Went and got some stainless, inch and a 1/4, 16 guage.
Cut the 2 axles off, actually just grownd off the weld.

 

[Bruce]

Sue is gonna put the hammer down.

 

[MarkCuda]

After cutting off the 2 axles, I stuck them back on the hole and ground them flush.

 

[Samuel]

How will you get the casters on now that you stuck in axle piece?

 

[MarkCuda]

Good catch, I relised that after I tacked in the axles, live and learn is all I got
Cutting tourch, I guess

 

[MarkCuda]

I fixed my screw up
Im sure this won't be the last.

 

[Cody Bratton]

My dad told me early on when I was learning the auto body trade (from him) once you can fix your own F ups, I will start paying you more… took a while, but I got there!

One thing I’ve thought about is welding all the joints solid, and putting gussets in the four corners on the back. May be a little overkill, but it would for sure help the wobble when pushing it.
