Corner Grabs for Running Boards
|
Bruce
Sometime ago I purchased several packages of corner
grabs for running boards. There were two styles of grabs. in one of the packages the legs on the corner grabs were equal in length. The other style, in another package; one leg was longer then the other. I am trying to find out who manufactures the second style of grab. The short leg of the corner grab would be over the side of the car. Any help would be appreciated. Bruce Bruce R.

equal leg or not. So I can't say whether they are the same as either of those you have. They are made from a hard copper .010 wire. regards, Andy Miller -----Original Message-----

Ya know, unless you're using thousands of the things,
it takes about 5 seconds to make a corner grab with a pair of pliers and a piece of wire. There are many sizes on the prototype cars, but only a couple of sizes made for HO scale. Same thing with cut levers. Practice and you can get it down to about 10 seconds. Tim "now where did I leave my pliers?" O'Connor |

Jigs are easy to make, as well.
