Yes I bought this "kit" a year or two ago. Maybe it would work if the hole was perfectly round but mine had become so distorted that it wouldn't hold. I have to say the suppliers offered help but it just wasn't suitable. Arctic has offered his usual impeccable solution using plastic plaster rawlplugs but I found that Rubnuts or Rivnuts were much better. (see here) as they would take up any irregularity in the hole. I used M6 which has provided a really tight fixing and also because it is rubber it will allow you to wiggle(waggle?) the fixing bolt.
Dave.
