Lamp Re-Wiring And Shade Question
Hello:
Rewired a desk lamp, and put a new Harp on it. The harp holds up the shade. Question: all the harps I have ever seen that they sell for replacements, have a screw diameter out the top that is smaller than the holes in all the lamp shades I've seen. No big deal, as i guess you can center the shade, hold it, and then tighten down on the fineale (is this what it's called ?) to hold it. But was wondering: do they make a spacer to place in the shade hole to center and accept the smaller harp screw ? Have never seen one if they do. What is usually done: just live with the added clearance, or... ? Thanks, B. |

Should be available in hardware stores - Dorman, Chicago Specialty, Levitron parts trays usually have a space for them. Bill |
