No. I'm not that bothered, just got to remember to put the handle on the side. 12 battens cut out and drilled, next is the circular saw. Hopefully I will still be decidigital following this operation. 1 1 Quote

The manual may say something about it, another clue is if TC offers a mounting bracket for the Elf. Ah, I've not bought it yet. I've found the manual but it gives no clues, and I've not found any photos of the underside on line! Quote

rwillett Posted Tuesday at 20:04 Posted Tuesday at 20:04 Something like this? I have no idea about the dimensions, but this slips under the screw in feet. The screw in feet lock this down, no changes to the Elf, no warranty issues. It then slides into the base I designed for the Gnome. The height of it should be less than the height of the rubber feet. This is not to scale, it's 5 mins work in Fusion 360. I thought about it walking the dog. The principle would work for anything with screw in feet. They can be staggered or in odd places. Rob 1 Quote

They probably wouldn't need to be that big either. Strangely I nearly ordered some last night to hold on a grille I'm fitting to my BC108 I'd just ordered a couple of bits from AliExpress including some threaded inserts for mounting the speakers and noticed the said magnets in the corner of the screen at a good price, but just as I clicked so too late. I'm sitting here with my Gnome in front of me, as you can see the feet are naturally dovetailed so flipping them over would be possible. Alternatively a bigger bolt head or a steel washer would bring the screw head up to a fraction below the feet so that a set of four neo button magnets would engae with the bolt head and it would stop an amp sliding around. Another option would be to embed a magnet into the feet to engage with magents embedded in the cab.- 4 Quote
Phil Starr Posted Wednesday at 12:05 Author Posted Wednesday at 12:05 And just in case you don't think a magnet can't hold a Gnome captive. This is my magnetic tray doing the lifting 4 Quote

Then I drilled out the holes in the hatch a little and superglued in small magnets. 2 Quote
Phil Starr Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago I just saw this post in another thread, I put in approximate dimensions of my cab and they quoted £55 for a basic level plywood cut to size. A 1220x604mm sheet of ply from wickes is £15 so you could maybe shop around for cheaper but cut to size is clearly available. This firm offer a 33% discount for 'trade' so it mught be worth someone trying to input their band as a business For information only though, I've never tried this firm 1 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I've never had any problems with sheet cut to size at B&Q. First half dozen or so cuts are free rest about 50p each? 2 Quote
