Re: Securing Bolt Down Metpost?

Question

| Hi,|| I have just bought a 3" Bolt Down Metpost so I can put a 3 foot post| in my concrete yard, but am not sure what fixings and drill bit size I| need.|| On the post is says use "M8 x 10L Rawbolt", I'm not sure what that is,| can anyone explain?|| Thanks in advance|| Julie||rpm

sleeve part of the rawlbolt unscrews and is dropped into a close fittinghole drilled to the suggested diameter and then the bolt is put through theitem to be secured and then screws into the sleeve which, as it istightened, expands to provide a secure fixing.  you may need a sds drill todrill a hole big enough with ease.  i think i used a 14mm sds drill bit formine.rpm
