Thank you.

As the only ones I have to do are on the bottom I was considering using some studs and nuts/spring washer combo. Will have a weigh up and see.

Thanks for the input!

JK sell them and list them at M6 (I wont be buying them, work are happy to 'lend' me some, so just need to confirm). I did have a quick look when ...

Re: diy whitewalls

The white wall section is extruded as a cow tongue and then layered, whilst still hot onto another pre extruded section that is then passed through a series of calenders forming the side wall.
