No one still bothered to cast these from resin and glass fibre?
Should be fairly straight forward. Maybe even some better room temperature plastics to use, like that polyurea stuff?

Has anyone screwed these in place?
If so, can they post a photo of where and how they have put the self tapper screws
Thanks

Yeah I have. I used the black pan-head torx screws that are used to hold the arch liners so they are almost invisible at a glance. I'll grab a pic this afternoon

To save me crawling around and feeling the materials and behind, what's a good size and length to go through both layers and grip well without hitting anything it shouldn't?
