Default Fixings into concrete fence post

As I said, I understand the problems with drilling in concrete fence posts. I can't guarantee what this post is like (my neighbour had it put up a couple of months ago) but as I understand it the rebar is usually in the corners where the section is considerably thinner. I'm intending to drill in the middle of the post, or slightly off centre alternately to give some resistance to twist. I have seen various clamps but I'm not too keen and would like something more permanent.
So.... again as I said, what type and size of plugs/screws? Masonry screws? Frame fixings? Ordinary rawlplug and woodscrew (and if so what length/diameter)?


I'd consult with the neighbour before stuffing up his post.
YMMV
