Rack case for head

[zhaddock]

I'm thinking of building a new rackcase for my rig. Does anyone know how the anvil shock mount cases are constructed. It appears that there is a 2" thick layer of foam between the rack and the outer shell. It seems that the foam itself would not be enough to support the weight of the equipment. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Z

I can't comment directly on what Anvil uses, but my 100lb+ Fender 300pro head has been touring in a head case with heavy-duty foam. After 10 years of hard travel, it has maybe compressed a millimeter!

The industrial closed-cell foam is very dense and durable.

If there's a rack rail in the Anvil, it must be mounted to some other sort of suspension, though. You can't 'screw into' foam.

The foam used on the lower section beneath the gear is usually a stiffer industrial foam, much thicker/denser than the other 3 sides.
