December 31, 200322 yr Having started my project of a generic 2 jet c/pit I have come across a problem which some of you may be able to help. As an example I have bought 2 car seats and made box sections for the runners. Because I must be able to dismantle my project (mainly MDF) does anyone know of a fastening that will allow constant assembly/disassembly of "T" sections of MDF that are not too obstrusive?Regards and a Happy New YearIan
December 31, 200322 yr I'm not sure what they're called, but your local hardware store should have these. You drill a roughly 1" dia hole through the "leg" of the T, and put in a metal disk that has a tapped hole in it. you then drill a roughly 1/4" dia hole "down through the top" of the T, and into that goes a hollow sleeve. A regular bolt then goes through the metal sleeve and is screwed into the thread in the disk. They're used in most of the better quality flat-pack furniture you can buy (Cheap stuff just uses screws) and I've never had a problem finding them for home projects.Richard
January 2, 200422 yr T-Nuts also work well. They are flat washer like nuts with spikes. You hammer them into the plywood then a 1/4 bolt screws into the nut. Just make sure you put them where the pulling force pulls then into the wood, not out of it.They are cheap, cheap.John JohnMy first SIM was a Link Trainer.
