MetalSub pony clamps

I've seen units with MetalSub clamps bolted to the case. What bolts do you use?

AP are now selling MetalSub style brackets for the Evo and Inspo 2 and they come with the required bolts. Otherwise, marine quality stainless steel fixings from your local chandelry would do but I'd recommend using nyloc nuts; you don't want to loose the bracket and whatever is attached to it during a dive!

I guess I'd need to take a drill to mine

I know a number of people who have done that without too many problems (even though its rather daunting). Just one tip though, make sure you ask for "cheese-head" screws (yes, that's their real name) and put them so the head is inside the case as they won't scratch your dil and O2 cylinder.
