avguytx Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 How is the 17" x 12" cover held on the bottom of Belles? Is it just wood screws from the factory? I've seen plans where some used T nuts and 10-32 screws but I wouldn't think they could go too deep as some of them would be in the exposed bottom panel. If it's a 3/4" panel, I'd think the screws would be around 1-1/4" long as to not go through. Just curious. Got to order bolts and T nuts tomorrow.

DizRotus Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Are you taking one apart, or building one from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If your using good plywood, screws may suffice as long as you don't have a need to removed them often. Since I used MDF, I will be using Tnuts once I finish mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 It'll be Baltic birch so I may just go with good pan head wood screws and pre drill them first. I don't see me getting into the doghouse that often. (Just with wife) I ordered 50 E-Z Lock flanges threaded inserts for the woofers along with 1.25" 10-32 bolts and washers.

longdrive03 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Since your building Belles you'll have more elbow room to tighten the bolts than you have on a Lascala. Might get all 8 bolts in. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 There is also like 3/4" wide but not very thick black foam insulation around the outer border of the hatch to ensure a good seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
