XL650: Alternate Bin Bracket


Recommended Posts

Saw something similar on YouTube, and decided to see if the 550 bin bracket could be adapted to provide a much stronger mount for hanging the bins. The 550 bracket is definitely much thicker metal, and comes with the 550/650 strong mount.

After some measuring, had a machinist friend cut some spacers out of mild steel roll and added some Krylon paint:

Bolted up to the strong mount using existing holes:

Definitely supports the stock 650 bin:

Along with the larger 1050 sized bin:

Should eliminate the chance of flexing/bending the stock bracket.......

So could you get some more spacers made? I would like a set and the. Would need a 1050 bin. The 650 is to small lol

Don't have the option to buy/sell the spacers. But any machine shop should be able to make you some fairly cheap. The guy on YouTube had used some copper pipe for his. If you need the specs on mine, just let me know.

For the 1050 bins, AkroMils manufactures a bin identical to the Dillon unit. Their part #30230. Easily found on Ebay, etc.

HTHs!

Brass:

Not sure if Dillon sells the part individually or not. It comes with the Dillon #22051 550/650 Strong Mount.

Dillon's part number for the Cartridge Chute is: #16063

Might give Dillon a call to see if they sell one......

Wish my bench was lower so I could use a string mount.

Build a wooden riser to stand on. You can set it to any height and put in your strong mount. Easier than lowering your bench.
