Trivial case hardware question
OK, I've put together two systems so far, and in each new case there
was a little L-shaped bracket about 2" long. What the heck is that damn thing used for?? The hole in the short leg of the bracket is too big to use any of the case screws with, they just slide on through!! It has a punch-out that looks like it might slide/clip onto something, but where..........and WHY?? Thanks! -- The Seabat |

You bolt it onto the case somewhere so that the short leg slides through the side door when you install the side door. Then you can use a padlock to lock it. I've never thought that this would be much use, though. If you are inclined to steal something inside the case, it would be easier just to walk away with the whole case. -Dave |
