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.
Probably, but sounds damn painful!
I was speaking anatomically :-)

A No 6 woodscrew fits fine , im sure if your on your hands and knees you would notice it but in the real world would anyone see it. Rob
Ah - right. Haven't you heard of glue ear?
It's like any other bodge.
You know it's there and the guilt should remain...... :-)
Fix faceplate irrevocably to wall with car body filler and superrglue screw to it just before selling house ;-)
