Have you considered using Pliobond glue to attached the rail? You coat the bottom of the rail and let it dry, after which you can position the rail and heat it with soldering iron to soften the glue and make it stick. Pliobond is hard to get in Australia but obtainable on eBay. Micro-Engineering also make spikes in several sizes which might avoid the need to trim the spike heads. I have some very small ones if you want a few to try.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330237704862733077noreply@blogger.com
