top stair post and temporarily installed 75mm
bottom post.

35mm above stair nosing. Tip: lay a 35mm
x 70mm Timber flat on nose of stair
treads. This will allow enough room for
installation of bottom snap. Clamp stair

75 mm posts. Using a sharp #2 pencil, mark
the stair channels at four (4) locations.
