I tried using the #6 sheet metal screws but they strip before sucking the cover down. Anyone using something more reliable?
Thanks

Use nutserts on the L bracket and in to the body. Works great!

Did you use a #6 machine screw? How did you keep the screws from vibrating loose?

How about a little blue loctite if you're worried about that?

Well, the thread locker shouldn't touch the covers, just a little dab'll do ya! :D
