would love to know if im wrong ...

when i put my E cat safe in back in about 1997 the Tauranga AO was adamant that 6mm was used on the base plate being 6mm mild steel and of coarse larger then the area of the safe. interesting i see above for concrete fixing chemset or expanding bolts i have never been allowed to use dynabolts they simply stated it will not comply and thats from three different AO. Interesting stuff
