Hall T60 Track

Hi, not really sure if anyone can help but im bemused with this problem. While we have small numbers of children on site im replacing our old battered furse track with some Hall T60 we have. Rigged one side of our studio with no problems but the other side seems to have a twist in the track after the 90 degree turn. All the fixing points etc are the same distance height etc away from each other and there is not kink in the track before the 90 just straight after. Its going to cause some problems when I join the two sides in the middle. I cant see that the corner itself is twisted so am a little stumped. Not sure if anyone can help or suggest something I may be missing.

 

Thanks Luke

It sounds as if the first length is fixed securely to the first wall and when you offer up length two it heads off at an angle, am I right?

 

If so then Jivemaster is right to query spacers and shims while Jon is also right to query the right angles and both are right to think about verticality.

 

Try slackening off the last few fixing points on wall one to allow some, very literal, wriggle room. Even a small plaster bump will throw it out by a long way at a right angle so check the walls, get hold of some shims, washers or spacers and play around a bit. If you can assemble the whole track and offer it up to the corner the problem and the solution might just suggest themselves. You may not even have to offer it up, just assemble it on the floor, to see what is happening especially as this is "some track we happen to have".

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess the room could be out. I will try to re-check measurements tomorrow.

 

I should have said it’s mounted from a grid/RSJ’s. I will try to post some pics tomorrow so you can see what I mean.

 

I guess it could be a matter of spacers/shims on some of the fixings. If all else fails I guess I will have to drop it. Took me a while to rig it to the point I’m at though so that’s a last option.

 

Kerry - the track is from a job lot we purchased. I have some spare 90’s so I could stop that out to see if it’s that that is twisted.

 

Thanks guys.

Managed to finally get the track sorted. Turns out it was a mixture I think of one of the bar supports being slightly off and the corner track having a very minor twist. Unfortunately for me the boss has now said can I replace the handline pulley curtain track too. It does need replacing as its form the 70's too and is a little worse for wear. I know exactly what Hall parts I need but have a question regarding the rope. Ideally would love it to be black too so it matches everything else, but is there a specific kind of sash cord I should be looking for?

 

Thanks
