Not quite... 27mm.  It is pretty big, but working with aluminum is so easy you can get away with crazy bits like that one. 

The kit came from a UK outfit similar to Grizzly, so I'm guessing its the same kit re-branded.

That's one serious bit!  1-1/4"?  Is that the Grizzly clamping kit in the background?

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It was a little too late to start testing tonight, but the chassis work is finished and the wiring is terminated.  It'll need a little clean up after testing, but since I'm "working from home" tomorrow I'm sure I'll find a little time to get it hooked up to the variac and put some voltage to it.  With any luck, and lack of magic smoke, I'll have some impressions tomorrow night.  I plan to drive some speakers with it before I hook it up to the Floats.

I'm pretty happy with the chassis since it was essentially all stuff I had laying around, so the whole build was done for pretty cheap.

I'll take more pictures, my phone died after this first snap.

No rubber or foam padding to reduce microphonics on the tube hole edges? I'd recommend a gasket.
