Huh. I didn't know you were a bridge builder Robb.

Pssst! (trying to get you off the hook)

I went looking for hardware to hang the new light for the tank, and came up empty handed. There are 1/8" threaded posts on the top of the fixture for hanging. I tried to find coupling nuts to fit at Rona and Canadian Tire but can't find them that small; 3/16 was the smallest I could find. Couldn't even find any on-line. Any suggestions?

If you need, in a couple weeks, when I get back from Albian, I can machine you something

Allways looking for reasons to play with the Metal Lathe.

Are you wanting to use cable to hang it? we could do something similar to what I did for the light rack on the 750

Don't know if it would help or not (your light is at least 4 times heavier then mine) but I have the cable hangers for my light that I'm not using

Might be worth looking at anyway. I'll stop in soon and have a look.

I can't remember it. How's it hung?

Thanks for the offer but I plan on having this baby hanging long before then.

Thanks Brad. Can't find that size in the on-line catalog, which doesn't necessarily mean they don't have them though. I'll check them out next time I'm in the city.
