No problem, if it is a new letterbox, take it back to the supplier and advise that consumer law demands the supplier fix the letterbox to the satisfaction of the purchaser. You, meanwhile, get to have your beer. |

I'm going to cut a slot in two of the 150mm wide palings. what do you think. Yeah that's exactly what I ended up doing Lex - cut a hole in the palings, the bottom of which was flush on the middle rail. I screwed the letterbox to the rail, and then made a 'border' out of some 25x12 to reinforce the palings where I cut them, and to tidy up the cuts. Welcome to PressF1 by the way! :thumbs: |
