These look like a good replacement for siderail nails, to hold the ball ramps to the siderails... The nails I have seem to be slightly smaller than a 1/8 which is .124 and 1/2 inch long. Going to buy a box of 4 by 1/2. If anybody wants some let me know

Should not have called them siderail nails, PBR sells the standard nails. I need the shorter nails, 1/2 inch to hold the ball guides on the pf rails. I just ordered 4 by 1/2 inch (long)

yea, I use a wide plaster knife to get under the siderail and pull it out slightly then with vice grips grap head to twist and remove

the link above sells these, as I mentioned I sprang for some #4 by 1/2, I'll post a side by side pic when I get them

Ok gang, got my order of nails in. #4 by 1/2. Nail is a little thicker than the existing spiral nail. May have to drill the ramp out to take nail. Being a little thicker probably helps going into the wood pf rails. Head is slightly larger as well. tempted to try the next size down. If anybody wants some of these LMK
