Anyone help with source of an unusual part?

[Swagman]

I have some lockers I can sub-divide for crockery etc by the insertion of extruded grey plastic X shaped parts - each with ending in a round peg which can be pressed into holes drilled on the locker 'floor'. The X is what keeps the crockery etc away from each other, and they are infinately adjustable.
I want to set up more lockers like this - and can drill the holes OK - but can't find where to source those plastic X section 'bits'.
If anyone understands what I am talking about and can help - it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
JOHN

Hi John,

Try here for a not identical but similar solution.

Hope this helps

Cheers Peter - glad to see my description made sense to others and if I don't locate the grey crossed versions - I now know of an alternate.
Much appreciated
JOHN

Can't help in sourcing the grey X sections either. what I did was to drill holes in locker base and glue in upright wooden pegs ~ works a treat!

Yo Khyber - that was always going to be my fallback also perhaps with O rings round to prevent bottle bashing!
But someone must make the X bits and I'm still hopeful other users will assist me track them down.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Have you tried...

If the X-bits were supplied with your 461, have you tried asking Hanse? They may be exclusive parts.

PS - Startlingly different boat! Just looked at the details on their website.

Re: Have you tried...

Yes - Hanse have been very good about everything - except these littel grey bu**ers.
I plan to leave the UK shortly I do wish to try and get some this week.
But thanks for the thought...

Thanks to two PM's found these at IKEA - and only £1.50 for bags of five. Bargain.
Really goes to show the value in this site and the help others can provide.
Cheers

Re: Located a Source

Thank you for PM'ing back result. It's annoying when people give replies by pm and email - no one else learns or gets feedback!

Same for the many who ask me for information - of which there are many. There are odd exceptions when I can see why they would want to keep details private, but no one learns if questions and answers go to pm? Just a thought

Hi Brendan,

Yes, agree with you. I made a similar point a few weeks ago, though I referred more to ordinary posts giving advice/ideas, where it would have been very useful to know if a satisfactory solution had resulted. Some do let us know, but I wish more did - one way or the other - for the benefit of all!!

Cheers Jerry

Re: Located a Source

Agree with both above.
Maybe one simple simple protocol where a result is receipted as a PM (like mine was) - could be for the recipient to repeat the outcome on the forum?
Another protocol of simply saying 'thanks - thats enough info' could also bring a thread to a close - saving others from responding when there is no longer a need?

Again - a super site - more than just useful - a vitual community. Nice.
