lighting pelmet fixing?
 

HELP Please!!

I have nearly completed my kitchen its a flat pack from MFI
I have just come to fit the lighting pelmet and hit a problem
Below is a little diagram! the pelmet needs to be attached as below

U is the unit base
X is where i was going to attach the KD block

But how do i do this i cant screw up because the recess is in the way!
I dont want to screw from inside the unit and the instructions show
the pelmet without have this stupid recess I dont know why they have
put this recess on it??

The only way i can see to do this is to screw down though the unit
from positon D?? (which i dont want to do)

Any ideas you guys??

That's the way these pelmets are fitted unless you also have elbow brackets
supplied. The pelmet is screwed into position through the bottom of unit
carcass and a plastic cover is inserted in to the hole to cover the screw
head.

from positon D?? (which i dont want to do)

You could pack out 'X' with a bit of scrap wood and use long screws.

SB = spacer block cut from scrap wood
FI = fixit block

Is there space for those two part KD blocks with a bolt joining them? If
so, attach one part to U and one to X, then insert bolt from rear.
