How do you translate "Gangnail"?

[Alysse Janet]

Hi,

I am currently translating Kenton Shepard's "A Garage Inspection" and I can't find the translation for Gangnail.
All I know is that a gangnail is a particular arrangement of nails on a metal plate, used as a connecting piece in strong timber joints.

If anyone knows the name in french could you please tell me?

Thanks

Janet, I think it is spelled this way;

Gang-nail connection= la bande qui cloue

Metal gang-nail connection= la connexion métallique de bande-clou

Gang-nail= bande-clou

Better wait for our friend from Quebec. My french is slang.

Thank you! This is very helpful!

*Connecteurs métalliques cloués* is my guess.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

That sounds better.

Shouldn't it just be - Gang-nail?

What would you translate for Kleenex?

My Kleenex box reads *Kleenex marque mouchoirs*,

so *Gang-Nail connecteurs métalliques*

Thank you! I will write Gang-nail (connecteurs métalliques), I think it will work!
