2020.04.26 - Low-Profile, Side-Entry Deck Gland - Fitting Part II
2020 April 26
Once the epoxy has hardened, three correctly sized holes are drilled in the epoxy.
These holes were drilled quite carefully using the deck gland as a reference so that they were in the correct place. If I had misaligned one or two of the holes, then I would have simply filled in the errant holes with more epoxy and drilled the correct holes once the epoxy had cured.
I had hoped that the M4 x 16mm bolts would be long enough to do the job, but alas they are too short and I am now await the arrival of M4 x 20mm which should be long enough.
