Default Plywood lining in a Peugeot Van

HI Folks

Finally decided that the Moggie Traveller needs a bit of R&R
(particularly sore replacement on the rear timbers) - so she'll be off
the road for a few months.

In the meantime - have acquired a 2nd-hand Pug Partner van.
It'd be nice if the rear of the van was lined out in timber (?plywood?)
- make it easier to strap stuff securely & stop it all rattling about.

The steel pressing seem to be designed to accomodate infil panels - and
have a variety of round and oval holes ready-punched...

So - is there some kind of a plastic fixing that snaps into these holes
to accomodate a screw or somesuch - or do people generally just whack
self-tappers into the inner panels ?

Anybody done this before & have words of wisdom to share ?



I've seen manufacturer's option lining kits, generally plastic, that
fixed prettily into the existing holes.

But every wood-lined van I've driven has been fixed with self-tappers.
If you want a neat job, there will be a local specialist who can do it
in a day.
