So having made 18" of studding and some nuts to suit I can't find the dimensions for them does anyone know what length the studs should be? Regards Paul

Despite some anti Myford sentiment from some on this forum I find their customer service second to none. They take endless and patient care to answer any query helpfully - even some of the footlin' things I have given them! I certainly wouldn't swop my Myford . Regards Norman
