[QUOTE="Mr_Canoehead, post: 1244733, member: 86927"] When I installed the powerlets last year, I found that the bolt they provide to hold everything together while installing the assembly is too small (M5 instead of M6), here is the review I posted online: [B]Well designed, but....[/B] [I]June 1, 2014[/I] [I]Reviewer: Mr_Canoehead from Calgary [/I] The instructions are great and very complete but the longer bolt that they give you to hold the assembly together while installing the new plate is the wrong size. You need an M6 and they give you an M5 (M5x50 SHCS). If the lock mechanism falls apart inside the panel you are seriously screwed. The diabolical part is that the M5 looks like the right part to the eye and feels like it does the job initially but then doesn't hold. Do yourself a favor and get an M6x50 SHCS before you start the install. Otherwise, the system is well thought out and well constructed. [/QUOTE]
