are all the rails the same length and how much do you need to remove ??
my thoughts are take it half off the center 2 parts then iff around the 150mm mark off each the brackets will be evenly spaced ??
 
all 47 in lengths.. its around a foot too long, i may get someone it to do it, its newly plastered or i would have just place the brackets in the old places and taken it from there, anyway thanks for you help il work it out eventually am sure (y):p
 
i will try that hopefully it cant go wrong , many thanks
 
ahh ok my mistake had 4 lengths in my head
its only 3 you have 141" you are removing 12=129" first and last bracket 6"in so gives a span off 117" divided by three=39" so middle section 39" and each end 45" to give a total off 129 with all brackets evenly spaced
 
its 3 lengths 4 brackets... i haven't worked the measurements out as yet.. am all confused to say the least :confused: right now ...
