hardware bracket

Post by nick@dunsdale »

Alright chaps

Sorry not mini related, but i know there are plenty helpful folks in here :)

The pics below show a plastic L shaped bracket, these brackets hold the glass that cover the lights in my spraybooth, i have two booths this is the very old one, and the company that built it is no longer in business

I cant seem to find these little plastic buggers anywhere, they are not directly made for spraybooths they are just what has been used as an easy way to remove glass, half turn six fixings on each glass and you can then lift the glass out.

I am sure google could find them if i knew what they were called.

So looking for inspiration into their correct name lol


Thanks Nick

These would do it with a bit of nylon tube as a spacer......

They're clips for secondary double glazing - which is something not really used today.

Gosh, we have them by the bucket load out here, we use them to hold fly screens to windows, you can even get them in a few colours!

Caravans use them to retain picnic tables, folding bunk beds etc. Quite a few in a mid 90s Swift caravan I have. Cheers. Mark
