OK, here we go again...!
I'm planning to install an Amateur Radio transceiver into my Disco 2; however, I have hit a little snag, and was wondering if anyone knows the answer.
The plan is to install the main body of the radio into the left-side boot storage bin in the boot space; there's a 12VDC line from the rear accessory socket I can use, and the run from the radio to the planned antenna (to be mounted on the back door) will be agreeably short. Now, a while back, I saw a wonderful idea regarding mounting electronics in that bin without having to drill holes in the trim panels, however I can't fin any reference to those screws/bolts/whatevers anywhere
Here's an image of the problem...

Now, I'm not a member of the digital car forums (nor do I plan to be), so contacting the OP there is not possible.
I need to know what size the screws or bolts that fit in the arrowed holes in the top section of the photo are, and if I need to get lengthened ones in order to fit a mounting plate (something like a 5mm thick panel of MDF or similar) like the guy over in Digital Car did.
I've searched every combination of words, including: "discovery" "2" "internal" "trim" "rear" "diagram" "bolt" "screw" "bin" "storage" "box" and many, many more until I'm almost cross-eyed. I suspect I'd have better luck with a visual parts catalogue (such as microcat?), but even Rovers North (who stuck theirs online!) doesn't appear to have that level of detail
(Also, I checked the online microcat at http://cat.lrparts.ru/ but even that seems to fail to show what I'm looking for)
Anyone give me any help on identifying these fixings, please?
Cheers in advance
