use the sort of plugs that kitchen fitters use, i.e. longer than

or you will end up with plug that just goes round and round and
makes the hole bigger.

If this does happen, car body filler instead of a rawlplug is ideal.

I've lost count of the times that haqs got me out of trouble...sticks to
anything, can be drilled and tapped, takes woodscrews and self tappers,
spreads loads marvelously, can be filed sanded and painted..
