I used a small length of 2x4 that I moved around under the board when drilling the holes. This helps give the screw s ome bite and keeps things nice and tight. I used my DeWalt drill and a 1/8 inch drill bit, which is a smaller diameter than the machine screw itself. Once I had the brackets attached I placed the pedals back on the board, lined them up exactly how I wanted them and then marked the holes for drilling. You only need two brackets for most pedals, and only one will suffice for the smaller, lighter ones. I then attached the brackets to my pedals using the screws already there underneath the pedal housing (most pedals have four of them). I went to Lowes and bought a couple of packs of 2"-34 mending plates, #8-32 wing nuts and #8-32 x 1-1/2 machine screws. My method uses wing nuts for tool-less installation and removal of the pedals. I got this idea from a website that sells random guitar paraphernalia, but instead of buying them I decided to make my own… with a twist. The velcro strips supplied with the unit, as well as the velcro bottom of the board itself, are woefully incapable of keeping heavy pedals securely anchored to the board. Ever since I bought my Furman SPB-8C pedal board I was having trouble keeping my pedals on it. ![]()
