Hi Everyone,

Bit of a random one this. Right, my plan is to make the side panels from ABS plastic as its cheap, light and very easy to work with. Now my plan to fit the side panels using well nuts and some dome headed stainless bolts along the side. The well nuts require a 10mm hole for them to fit into. Now here is my problem, is drilling a load of 10mm holes along the frame rails going to weaken the chassis? Im thinking i might need to make some brackets that can be welded to the frame so the well nuts won't weaken the chassis, or am i just over thinking this?

Jason :)
