Thanks to your reponses I bought replacement fixings from

Screwfix -
£4.40+ for five as opposed to Focus, which is much closer, who

charged
£9+ for two.


What size were they Harry? SF part number?

M8 x 10 - 85762

I'm a recent convert to the epoxy or polyester resin anchors. I had a
piece of machinery (*) that repeatedly pulled out of a concrete floor
despite very sizable expanding anchors - problem totally solved by a
