Grrrrrrr..... ! Getting the legs right!

In the Nov. 2004 MR, page 36, there was a neat article on adj. legs. I'm using it on my modular layout og the Cass Scenic. Drill 3" deep holes in the center of the legs w/a 5/16" brad point bit. Bradpoints leave a square-bottom hole.. Insert 1/4" tee nuts. Use the kind with four holes instead of prongs. (Pronged ones will work loose) Hold the tee nuts in place with paneling nails.. <br />Use 1-1/4" PVC Pipe caps for feet. Drill a 1/4" hole in the center of the pipe cap. Use 2-1/2" bolts threaded to the head. Put a star washer & nut on the bolt, and just before you tighten it. put on a drop of C A. Add another nut for a locknut. <br />I hope you are able to take off the legs to work on them. Otherwise maybe, if your layout isn't too far along, you could turn each section over to work on it. Lots of luck, <br />Rollin <br />
