Repairing a Curtain

[rock_breaker]

The main support guide on the privacy curtain in my camper is broken, so it can't be effectively held closed. The curtain is supported by plastic "T"s running in a grooved track that is screwed to the ceiling. Started making some "T"s and found that one grove in the RT would not let my T Nut go through so I got to spend a little time on the Horizontal mill making a T nut thinner, Then it was back to the mill drill to start making plastic tabs with "T"s at the top to support the end of the curtain. It was a good afternoon.

Sounds like a job custom made to overkill. Make them out of stainless and they will last forever.

That is a good idea! Perhaps aluminum which is more plentiful than stainless here. The T has to go through a 0.25" slot then be turned 90` to hold the end bracket. After working with some plastic today as soft as that stuff is it is hard to tell where the cutter really is. A good reason to get a DRO installed. Thanks
