Home-made project
 

I'm designing my own shoulder support. This is the idea:

Can someone give me some dimensions:

Diameter of the bars/rods
Space between the bars/rods

Other dimensions are welcome!

Thanks!

15mm rods and I had the dimensions for the distance, but don't remember where they are or what they are...I'll try to dig that up.

looks like 60mm apart according to this for sale posting on another board:

Thanks! This is a nice start to begin with...

I just finished mine, have to figure out a mounting system for them (from scratch...the price tags of the pro stuff hurts me and steals food from my teenage boy's mouth ;) ). cost for the rails ended up about $15 with aluminimuminum rods and associated hardware to turn them into a rectangle. I used wooden blocks on the ends to space them 60mm on center and used a Die to thread the rods (PITA) so I could throw washers and nuts to sandwich the pieces of wood at the ends. Looks very professional once I paint it mate black. Still have to figure out how I'm going to mount everything to it though. Give some time...I'll come up with something brilliant ;) (aren't we glad I'm modest).

Tommorow I'am going to the local hardware shop to buy the stuf I think I need, I'll post pics everytime...

Can you post some pics?

Should be to you :)...still don't know why the weblinks didn't work for you ... might just be slow...or you could be behind that chinese firewall.

Where did you find those - I know there's EU/US difference here, but as simple as that looks I can't find them in any parts/home improvement short - and those are really the most essential part of the whole rod system.
