or the weight on the louver and it cracking? How much does some of this equipment weigh Andy?

It depends on your build...
The gator board stuff is negligible - I built the louvers and circular part of the reactor of it. Of course the hubcap and turbine stator adds weight (my original design is actually just two hubcaps and they weigh very little. Because of the hose attachments and at the box area behind the core, I built it out of 1/2" plywood. My reactor has plywood heat sinks around it now - they weigh very little but I am prepping to replace them with the correct aluminum ones... More weight.
Of course what you will build if it's just going to sit on top will be much less if you are aiming for screen accurate. It's really just a bit of the rearmost top of the louvers and the back end as well as the very top of the reactor. Out of gator board this would weigh nothing so you're probably safe.
