But look like a bodge. The correct screws are raised head chrome plated. And a raised head chrome plated wood screw will be brass, and break if you try to screw it into steel.

Yes. You don't even need to use araldite - just some normal clear Bostik, etc. Or even superglue. Hold the nut in place with the screw until the glue dries.

[Andy Hall]

It's like any other bodge.

You know it's there and the guilt should remain...... :-)
