Title: Magnet for drip trays
Post by: baconsarnie on January 07, 2015, 10:32:52 AM
Anywhere that sells magnets that would allow me to attach drip trays to the front of my keezer? (no spare hard drives knocking about my place, before anyone asks).

I assumed Maplins, they usually have everything, but, no... >:(

assuming 570g tray, your probably going to need a mechanical fixing, as even with good magnets, your tray may slide down to the floor, something like this...

Bracket is fixed, magnet on red to hold tray in place.

Pubs tend to have them lying around cause breweries are forever changing their tap designs.
