What's really valuable to me are the ideas for sourcing both the material for a bracket and the socket. The use of a Rawlplug is sheer brilliance. Good stuff. Thanks.

All the metal brackets/washers will sit against the bodywork and rub through the paint potentially. I'd suggest putting some plastic washer/coating over it to stop them scratching/rusting around the fixing.

Hi Dan
Thank you for the suggestion every bit helps maybe use those small furniture felt pads which can be either stuck to the body over the fixing hole, or the bracket hole Arctic.
