Wood screw - stainless steel spigot connection to timber
posts
By using these Great Circle Rigging ball and socket mountings to fixing
points such as staircases etc, angles of up to 400 can be achieved. No welding is required to fix any
parts thus making these suitable for on-site assembly either to steel or
timber with the minimum of plant and machinery.
