[Ed Kapuscinski]

I don't remember if I ever created a thread for these, but I now have a full post about them up on Conrail1285.com.

Bring a bag of those buggers to Altoona and name your price, Ed.

That's pretty nice Ed.

However, when you're at The Home Depot thinking about picking up your carriage bolts, lock-nuts and T-nuts to use as levelers for your T-Trak module, you might want to saunter over to aisle 9 and look for their Everbilt 1-1/16 in. Round Threaded Stem Leveling Furniture Glides (4-pack for $3.93).  See them here: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-1-16-in-Round-Threaded-Stem-Leveling-Furniture-Glides-for-Floor-Protection-4-Pack-4603644EB/203672161#product-section-rr

I converted long ago from carriage bolts leg levelers to metal leveling glides for all of my 6X3 modules, although a bit bigger than these small diameter glides.

Cheerio!

I use these… the nylon hex bolt heads are ridiculously inexpensive, and the bolts have the ball socket holes that allow me/us to super level our modules from the top.
I simply use gel super glue to fix the nylon hex heads to the bolts.
The nylon bolt heads are easy on the surfaces, especially tablecloths.
The nylon bolt heads allow one to use a rachet wrench or fingers when pre-adjusting from the bottom
