Didn’t know that one shouldn’t ask questions anymore.
From past purchase, holes are not predrilled. There’s a flat flange for attaching to deck. Ben has a kit of screws/inserts/foam tape he provides for reasonable extra cost.
And the questions seem reasonable to me.

I can provide enough plus extras for practice with an adhesive foam gasket for a tenner a set.

Bigben providing everything, should rename this thread to the one stop deck and enclosure UK shop.
What kind of inserts are in the kit? Ill be interested in add on a set to my order when its ready to go.
Hi @Maxid. Sorry I’ve had my first day back at real work today and it’s been madness… I use furniture inserts, normally M6 and about 10 per board. The bolts I use are normally button head dome.There are fancy fairing washers that I have used on some boards but don’t have a good supply of them currently. The foam I use I get from a supplier who cuts it to size but some use draught excluder or door strip? The board and enclosure don’t come pre drilled but it is something I can do with time… (a commodity I don’t seem to posses…) The deck is 1015mm long. I’ll just dig out some photos. Don’t worry about the questions, I’m snowed under so might seem a little slow, I don’t mean to be! Ben

Normal furniture inserts, some don’t like them but with practice I have had really good results.
I can look into sourcing the pre thread locked bolts if there was interest?

Hey @bigben i forget what size inserts and screws you recommend…and do you glue them in too? get copper or brass or whatever?

bigben uses M6, no flange, softwood.
psychotiller uses m4 no flange hardwood.
m4 looks kind of tiny, but psycho attaches everything to deck. Seems quite strong enough, especially the hardwood knife thread version.
m6 looks gnarly huge 
bigben lays everything in the enclosure.
m5 – ezlok doesn’t do this size?
I’m tempted to use 10-32 to match the skate hardware. It’s close to m5. I’m trying to keep all hex heads in metric only, so phillips or torx if I go imperial. madness… especially in my on-the-go toolbag.
I prefer truss head screws to spread the pressure.
Other tips from testing and from use. If you don’t want to drill a through-hole for the insert, might be good to grind/sand the insert down a bit, so it doesn’t have to go so deep. Epoxy the fuckers in, especially the softwood versions with the thick wings. I’m not sure about needing loctite on the screws.
The hammer-in versions might be good too with epoxy.

I’ve got m5 on my evo with everything inside the enclosure and not attached to the deck. Feels crazy strong with 12 screws. I’ll probably go m6 on this deck however for convenience because sex bolts are way easier to find for that size tapered head (that’s fender washers for people who don’t want to be FABULOUS)

Get stainless steel m4 or m5. You will strip the insex on brass inserts. And a bit of wood glue is a good idea. It´s worth the extra 3 dollars the stainless steel insterters!

I had an idea of holding enclosure to the deck with magnets. Will this interfere with the rf signals?
Did someone tried this? Maybe route magnets into the deck and glue other on the outside of the enclosure?
