Rupp Top Gun Mounting Plate

The Rupp Top Gun Mounting Plate (MPN 17-1502-23) is a precision-engineered aircraft aluminum component designed for mounting outrigger systems into aluminum T-top frames, hardtops, and similar rigid mounting surfaces. Built from the highest-grade aircraft aluminum and protected by heavy-duty anodizing, this mounting plate delivers the structural integrity and corrosion resistance required for marine, off-road, and tactical field applications where equipment attachment points must be load-rated and long-lasting.

The extruded aluminum construction maximizes support and distributes load stress evenly across the mounting surface, critical for applications involving dynamic forces or extended field deployment. The mounting plate features a 2.50-inch center hole with 5/16-18 threaded mounting holes spaced for standard outrigger attachment. Machined openings are available in horizontal or 10-degree offset configurations to accommodate various frame geometries and operational requirements. The plate is supplied at 20 inches in length and can be cut to fit custom installations, offering flexibility for non-standard frame widths or multi-point mounting scenarios. The anodized finish provides superior protection against saltwater corrosion, UV degradation, and weathering—essential for extended field use in harsh environments.

This mounting plate is engineered for operators and technicians who require welded-in-place fastening solutions where bolt-through or surface-mounted brackets are insufficient. Common applications include patrol vessel rigging, mobile command post frame assembly, off-road recovery system installation, and any scenario requiring permanent, load-rated equipment attachment to rigid aluminum structures. The modular design and available offset angles support multiple deployment configurations without requiring custom fabrication or secondary reinforcement.

Rupp Marine mounting plates are widely specified in marine and tactical equipment markets where aluminum frame durability and load capacity are non-negotiable. The combination of aircraft-grade material, heavy anodizing, and extruded design ensures this plate will maintain structural integrity and corrosion resistance across years of field deployment in demanding conditions.
