Auto Gate.

[martin]

I've got a small problem (no not that again) I've got a new Auto gate, and it's fittings are different to the original, it has two threaded inserts underneath and I can't figure out how to fit it, not to mention having to find a way of transferring the curved plastic section. Anybody got any thoughts on this ? or an original they'd like to sell ? Martin.

when you work it out Mart let me know too!

Martin, there should be two threaded inserts. There should also be clips and screws that secure the autogate to the woodwork. Cant see them shown on the Rimmers webiste, so cant provide a diagram.

Hi Martin

You have to cut out the old graphics with a sharp blade (Stanley Knife) then glue it in place, if you take your time and watch your fingers it can be done, make sure you cut from the side and folow the contour of the graphic not from the top, otherwise it will be to narrow to glue in place.

Hope that helps

Can you post a pic up of the unit you just bought Martin?

To fix my new autogate, I stuck it down onto the woodwork with a few dabs of clear silicon sealant!

I used double sided stiky tape by 3M, stick it to the plastic gate, leave the protective tape on the side that will be stuck to the wood place on a flat suface and trim with a sharp blade peel of the tape and stick into position.

Hi Martin,

The original fixings were 2 brackets and 2 screws into the 2 threaded bosses.
If you have them use them, otherwise use glue or sealer to attach the gate moulding to the wooden panel.
I made some transparent legends that could be glued in to the back of the new mouldings (In my case for the zf4spd.)
If you wish I can send you some for a BW3spd for you to glue one in?
They are just printed, and laminated & cut but seem to work ok, they are printed double sided, green on the back so they illuminate green.
The 3 speed one needs resizing to the 4 speed one before you print.
