Hey guys! So I bought this house in January and I noticed right away the grime in the small gap between the bottom mount sink and underneath the countertop so I cleaned all that out and recaulked it. I was curious as to what's holding the heavy slate sink it can't be glue. I looked under the sink and saw these brackets with 3 long lifting screws on each side of sink that are doing the job and most were loose! So I grabbed a nut driver and torqued them up a little being very careful not to over tighten as it could break the countertop, right? So I check them every few weeks and today two were again! Prob from the house shifting and/or vibration from the garbage disposal.
How tight should I get them I'm scared I'll bust the granite tops, and how can I prevent them from ever coming loose again? I thought about installing some jam nuts but there's really not much room and not sure if there's a deep enough socket given the length of the screws. I need to find a solution. Thx
