having a bit of trouble securing a metal bath so it doesn't move, it's a
cheap modern thin metal bath

I've fixed lengths of 6x2 to the floor (they run the length of the bath) and
screwed down the feet but the bath can still move laterally
I can pull it as much as 10mm from the wall and it moves when you lean on
the side to get out

it has really poor fixings for the feet brackets, hooked on either side of
the bath and held tight with a threaded hook and adjusted with a butterfly
nut
I've tightened the nut as much as possible but that hasn't stopped the
movement, I don't want to overtighten it incase it dethreads
there are 2 loops either side of the bath at one end but I don't know what
they're for ?

the bath is flush with the wall along one side and one end and the hoops are
near the other end

any suggestions would be appreciated

thanks


Also, I never rely soley on the supplied legs but put additional
appropriately sized pieces of timber to provide proper support
throughout the length of the bath and especially if it is used for
showering.
