Looking For Chassis Feet or Spikes

dantwomey · 21st May 2009, 12:31 AM

I'm building my own GainClone chassis and one of the final pieces I'm missing is some sort of feet or spikes. I looked at the Percy Audio and Partsconnexion stuff and it all looks looks to big for my application. Suggestions on sources or alternatives anyone?

Regards,
Dan

Clamp a 1/4"-20 bolt in a drill press and use a file to shape a tapered point on it. Thread the chassis using a 1/4"-20 tap.

Requires access to a drill press, of course, but has the advantage that you can have whatever length/taper suits your needs.

[edit] If 1/4"-20 is too big, use #12, #10, or #8 machine screws. [/edit]

Regards.
