Tom, If the locations of the holes for attaching the brackets to the keyframe are the only problem, then a little woodworking to provide an attachment point on the keyframe at the right elevation is what's required, and it's not that difficult. I'd certainly explore that approach before handcrafting a set of brackets from delignit. Mike On 12/29/2011 11:55 AM, Tom Gorley wrote: > Thank you, guys for your responses.
