Hi,

Probbaly worrying over nothing - but thought it best to check.

I have a ceramic (well, I'm not sure, but it's the type that isn't iron and
isn't plastic) bog cistern.

I have set M8 stainless studding into the wall to hang it on (wall is celcon
and I do not trust plugs).

Before I finally hang it - is the china likely to object to bearing on the
sharp threads on the studs (like stress points introducing cracks - that
sort of thing...)? Normal people hang cisterns on screws so chances are the
cistern bears on the smooth shank.

The studs are a good fit in the holes so not much space to sleeve it.

That leaves filing the threads off or wrapping a bit of tape around which
will probably just cut through anyway.

Or just hanging it as is. -- Anyone think my worries are founded - I hate
it to crack and fall off 'cos it's heavy!

Ta

Tim


I've little idea if its an issue, but you can always wipe the rod with
epoxy to get an even surface
