Ease of Installation: I installed mine into a brand-new Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue. On that amp, the reverb tank is loosely suspended inside at the bottom floor of the amp. I first removed the tank (just two screws), to be certain that my drill bit wouldn't hit it. (After installation of the casters, it was necessary to reinstall the reverb tank with longer screws so the tank would suspend nicely above the caster shafts that poke through the amp's floor.

I used two inch-and-a-half self-tapping wood screws and it works perfectly.) The best position for the casters would be as far out to the corners of the amp as possible, to maximize stability when rolling over thick carpeting or other uneven surfaces. But the amp has 'gliders' at those positions.

I considered removing the amps gliders and then decided against it, because if I were to use the amp without the casters, (and gliders) then the amp would be resting upon the casters' cabinet receptacles, which might be damaged. So that left me with fewer options for positioning. I ended-up installing them as close to the amp gliders as possible, and it works great. This amp does have a tendency to tip forward or backward when negotiating my thick living room carpet, but it rolls smooth as silk over tile and cement walks, etc. Amps that are deeper than the Deluxe Reverb will be more stable. This 'problem' was not a deal killer for me. After carefully marking the position for your center holes, drill the 5/8' center holes.

Then put the receptacle's shaft into the hole. Now, you can mark the positions for the 4 smaller holes that accept the attachment screws.

I had to buy a 5/8' woodworking drill bit. It took awhile to bore through the Fender's hard plywood, but that's not a complaint. I love Fender's robust construction. All-in-all, I would rate the Ease of Installation as 7 out of 10 (10 being the easiest).

I have a fairly heavy ( being a weakling) Peavey Deuce early 1980`s 2x 12 combo, that has one handle on the top which is next to useless due to the size and weight, and was thinking of putting some wheeels on it, but have a few questions about this; 1. Would it affect the tone/cause rattles? I have seen some wheels that slot in and can be taken out, but dont know if they are DIY-able 3.Anyone in the UK recommend where to get wheels for an amp? The other alternative would be t get some sort of small trolley? Click to expand.I have casters similar to those on my 4x10 Fender Concert amp (71 pounds). They work BUT, I'm considering making a small trolley-type thing and put the casters on that instead of the amp.
