Hi there,
I have been attempting to fit the main deck to the body of the tank but have found that my fingers are either to fat and to short to successfully fix a nut to the screw going through the bracket at each side at the front of the tank.
As shown in the photo attached I have used M3 nut rivets which provid a captive nut.
So much easier to fit the main deck.

Re: Main deck
Helloi,
Good Idea. I had the same problem and considered pem nuts. I settled on soldering nuts to the bottom side of the brackets. I did this in multiple locations on this tank and many others.

Re: Main deck
Nothing wrong with rivnuts, just don't tighten right up until your happy its not coming off again. If one spins, they can be rather fun to remove...
