Just to add a bit of extra rigidity to the fixingDon’t know, however this is not needed.
Why do you want to do it? Just out of interest.
Thanks. I tried one of those so it is 3/4 inch. The theads on the nut were too coarse though so it would only do a fraction of a turn before binding.3/4 inch nut / hex
Wouldn't adding a screw to the fixing bracket in the pic help? Or is that piece of timber not fixed either!Just to add a bit of extra rigidity to the fixing
It is fixed by screws through those two tabs but there are only two which means it can still rock slightly up and downWouldn't adding a screw to the fixing bracket in the pic help? Or is that piece of timber not fixed either!
Easier said than done especially when you can easily spin a nut on the threaded shaft. A shim means trial and error trimming to the right thickness as its impossible to get in there to measure the gap. When I’ve got the right in-out position with the tiles in place I plan to foam behind it for insulation and to stabilise it. Looks like that is going to have to do as no-one seems to know what nut/thread it is.To stop rocking you just need to glue a shim/wedge at the appropriate location.
