Hey everybody, i am currently on my third build and i came up with a question i can not solve by myself.
the deck is a landyachtz evo with 11 ply maple. i recently bought a enclosure for a concave board and since the evo does not really have a concave i am stuck with concave gap on the up and downside of the enclosure.
so, the deck is very heavy and sturdy and i am asking myself if i could do some chisel work or something with an oscillating saw, to get rid of the gap, get the enclosure away from the ground, and and just let it look more cleaner.
sure, the boards are not meant to get worked on with strip plys from it.
the question is: how much i could take away before suffering from instability? do these boards have something like a safety factor with weight? i do not want to destroy the deck, but it would look much better with it.
If your worried about ground clearnce my landyatch evo enclosure is 2 inches deep so its pretty close(to fit a 12s6p 30q and 4 focbox) . haven’t tried it yet but a buddy of mine had the same set up he never had issues
I wouldnt, it would take a lot of removal to make that enclosure fit. Id get a sheet of ABS and cut a piece to fit both ends then epoxy or ABS glue in place.
Could you build up an extra layer of weather stripping to fill the gap?
I’d buy a different enclosure before I’d start cutting away layers of the deck. As @mmaner noted, you’d have to remove a lot of material to get that enclosure to lay flat.
Not at all!
Don´t remove Material from this deck.
Get filling material to fill the gaps or hit up @fottaz @ eskating.eu or @bigben for a nice enclosure
