Axe Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Take them back and get the Bolt Head version! It would be alot easier than putting those copper tubes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Try underlay it works for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Underlay sounds like a great idea, someone had also suggested carpet tiles as they are also self adhesive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 They look about 4" too long to me, I don't know what thickness underlay you boys use Do you find you keep banging your head on doorframes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave66 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 use rawl-bolts that have a "bolt" instead of the stud and nut arrangement, then you only get the 13MM A/F bolt head ( For an M8 bolt ) and nice flat washer sticking out from the back of the cabinet, or, get a piece of 3X2 scant cut the same width as the inside of the cabinet, press over onto the studs to make a mark, drill the wood, counter-sink for the nuts, and push it over the studs, a couple more pieces of wood glued/screwed to this keeps the guns apart Can u send me a Blue Peter badge ? Thanks Dave 66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) I could'nt get to sleep trying to figure out an anagram of left field :*) Nice one stuartp Yip, I'd say it's unusual - and the idea was tongue in cheek to see how varied the suggestions were, and it would / has? become clearer as the clue's were posted These rawlbolts were the only suitable size that B&Q had at the time, and each of the three fitted gun cabinets I have looked into to date all had loads of stud inside them.

BIGJON Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Is it a set of spacers to reduce the amount of bolt sticking out into your gun cabinet Or am I way off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 BIGJON wins Send me yer addy BIGJON for some filter material mate My thinking is to remove the cabinet and put the pipes over the studs then sink them further into the wall - which also makes them more secure I reckon, the wall being about 10" thick including plaster on both sides I thought it best to use ten of them because my partition walls are breeze block rather than the preferred concrete. The FEO and I felt the location of the gun had to be somewhere I wouldn’t disturb the rest of the household when I go or return from shooting (usually in the small hours) as this could lead to occasionally leaving it out till later / for later - which left only 1 suitable location. Carpet tiles sound a good way to finish the job too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 stuartp "'Left Field' is an American expression for someone who is bit odd - no offence intended at all, it just that you last few posts seemed to make sense you, but no one else" Well spotted, you've hit the nail right on the head mate - and in a pleasant manner too I am slightly dyslexic - mostly leaving bits out altogher, rather than the more usual putting them in the wrong place I usually know what I mean - but I cant always relate it to others :*) Anyway - I have some good news for everyone Another competion coming soon - same prize 'cos I got loads of this filter stuff - and it works a treat. If you have a variable brightness facility on your gun lamp you can just use the one layer and not use full brightness untill the shot is ready. At least 2 layers are needed for fixed brightness lamps to minimise the rabbits bolting before you get lined up comfortably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargeant Bang Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Normally you'd either put wood batons behind the cab so there was less bolt sticking through into your cab or as several people said, change the bolts to the "Nut Head" type of Rawl Bolt, rather than have the threaded bolt sticking through you'd just have a neat bolt to do up (or 6) inside the cab?
