I hoarded a small stockpile of them, but I have to see if I have any extras... Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Round the corners and use brass bolts to hold it all together. Just bend it to the angle you need. Not original but should get it done. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
