i tried 2 barbells in j-hooks sideways through the rack but they are too far apart at 900mm and feels weird.
The proper attachment looks sturdy enough but i wouldn't mind feed back from those who have one. My only real doubt is the attachment of what looks like one wind on nut. i had hoped it fitted up like the j hooks which are wicked and offer loads of support through the large plate face.

I'll post up some vids soon, which were taken just now.
One with just bodyweight - 83kg.
One with BW + 25kg.
One with BW + 50kg.
No flex or movement felt while doing reps.
The width of the handles is probably a personal thing.
I'm 6ft and it feels good for me and workmate is about 5'6" and he also feels very comfortable with the width.
But as mentioned, it's probably a personal thing.
Ok, here are some vids.
I usually only do bodyweight dips, so could only manage 3 reps of BW + 50kg.
I got this one today ( including my powerrack etc.. )
Haven't done weighted dips on it yet but at 6"3 100kg it very sturdy and seems capable of holding a lot more. For some people I can see the benefit of adding adjustable width, for smaller people i suppose? but Hulk just said a 5"6 guy feels comfortable on it so :S, feels absolutely perfect for me.
currently im using my old adjustable squat rack with dip handles on the back and maybe I'm fussy but it's solid as a rock compared to the power rack dip handles.

Yep dead serious. I did dips today and used the squat rack/dip stand I have. I never use the mm dip attachment, don't like it.
In saying that I love the muscle motion commercial power rack, would recommend to anyone. Best piece of gym equipment I own by a mile, use it every day.
I ended up getting this attachment and it's a good rig i found
I'll be adding the steel rod inserts Christian mentioned on page 1. I don't feel they are a necessity now but for longevities sake i will add them. I own both the commercial rack and this attachment and feel they will last a lifetime with no issue.
I'm 5'10" but quite broad in the shoulders so the width is perfect for me. i found the stand alone chin/dips stations a bit awkward with the narrower handles. personal preference i suppose, everyone has a varied bench grip so i guess the same could apply to dips.
