wooden,Boxed Rail will accommodate a wall mounted handrail for a straight stair/wall run of 3600mm.

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 ??

 

[bobbit]

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

Cut 100mm off each rail, adjust brackets to suit.

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 right now ...
