If you are ever at full stretch trying to reach a nut in the hull through the hatches, you can always unscrew and remove hatch assembly, sometimes it can give you that extra cm to reach. I'm thinking a couple of mounts behind the seat area, but its a bugger to reach
I had huge troubles with the grommet behind rear well and so from now on I only install anything where it is within reach.

Yes you're right, I almost had a nervous breakdown drilling that first hole :lol:

Thanks Jay!
It was hard to resist the urge, but pays dividends. Gave me the opportunity to really work out pro's and con's of placement and I think now that has given me an end product that is actually practical as well as functional :D
