Instructions

Get the lowest row of cleats where you want it, and then use these spacers to add cleats on 8" centers. Handy if you want to minimize handling a level while installing a cleat system. Seriously speeds it up, especially if you don't have an extra pair of hands. Works fine with a pair. File includes a pair with 5/16" between them for cut with 1/4" bit. Expect variation from 8" centers if cleats are not 2.25" tall. You can bump the anchors on the top end in the .svg to compensate if you want.
