    Castors for case?

    It's time my case gets mobile. So I want to fit some castors to it.

    They're for a LL PC6070 (PC60 basically), so which are best to fit. Had a quick nose in b&q but nothing looked like it would be suitabe.

    Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

    Cheers

    Right, got my hands on some now...plate fixing.

    I think the best way to fix them will be adhesive. Whats the best metal/metal adhesive to use?

    I can't remember the name of it now, but I've used it before.

    In car accessory shops, you can get an adhesive specifically for metal. This stuff's so strong you can actually remake part of a cast block if you've chipped a bit off.

    Comes in two tubes, mix it up. A bit pricey though, I seem to remember it cost about £7.00. Sorry can't remember name of it
