I have Fane 12mb to go into MT12 which I am building.
I can't get any M5 t-nuts or inserts for the baffle board because of where I am and the current situation.
I have M6, plenty and was wondering if drilling out the mounting holes from 5.5 to 6.5mm would be a big no no?
Or perhaps there is a get around, another way of doing this?
Was there a time before t-nuts?

Did it to some Fane 12B's (same chassis), 20yrs of being hammered and no issues.

I did this to some 12MBs, they have been fine in DJ monitors the last few years. Funny so many people have abused this chassis.

Sound. As I thought but I had to ask the knowledge baseSmile.
Amazon, I try not to. I'm in India and the only ones I found come from China which means 6 weeks
wait. If they allow them in the country....
Many thanks people, it's been done before and it works. Just what I wanted to know.
