Title: installing buttons question
Post by: bossyman15 on February 16, 2006, 04:15:34 pm
when i made my test panel i made button close together that they touch each other but i noticed that if i did that it makes nuts hard to screw down because they hit each other.

how do you come around this?

Don't put the buttons so close together...

I leave about 1/4" between the edges of the button rims.

Sometimes turning one nut upside down helps.

Oh sure, it's juvenile, but I know SOMEONE else had to see this besides me.  If not, glad to be of cervix ;D

You could shave the lip off each button if mahuti's suggestion doesn't quite give enough room.

There is a good example in the thread above.  Also read the responses in that thread for other methods.
