One more for any DIY project:

Fasteners - Full line of fasteners, screws, nails, bolts, & other specialty fasteners - McFeely's

This type of T nut, used even in conjunction with an Allen screw, is in my view a good approach. I believe this is now available in near SP Road, Bangalore-if so it is a great convenience.For those who havent used these yet, they are strongly recommended.

GeorgeO,
Great links for the diyers , driver availability in india is an issue, i feel wasting 100% more(cost becomes 200%) for customs and shipping for a driver is not worth ..

1 eminence Lab driver is available but way too big one..

Hi George, trust you had a good trip back. One note on the T-Nut if you are very close to the edge of the MDF these are not such a great idea in which case you are better off with threaded inserts.

Hi Arun

Yes, I got back with my 12 inch driver fixed, so on your next Bangalore trip you can swing by!

Thanks to Murali, who advised me on how to pack it-to place some material like newspapers as an interleaf while folding it, I was able to bring it across with no folds on it at all. It is now rolled up and awaiting installation. Hopefuly in the next few weeks. I plan to contact Santosh and check out his HT room soon.
