Started to install some c channel on my panels to reinforce for bigger ballast (1280s) and I noticed that each panel divider has 2 metal plates installed from factory. Are you guys still installing channel along with the plates?

Yes, my 17 Craz has the metal plates in the panel dividers and I had issues with factory 900s.Quote:

Yeah you’ll need extra reinforcement even with the stock 900s.
I actually ended up screwing in bar stock horizontally just above where the panel sleeves into the channel in the floor.

Did you have the panel blow out at the bottom, or did you just do it for precaution? My panels bow in, but I haven’t had them pop out yet. Maybe I should add some reinforcement.Quote:

My panels broke the channels at the bottom and that was with the factory 900s.Quote:

I used some "L" aluminum bar stock to prevent the engine panel from jumping the track.
