Thread size for Skylla-i Control GX panel mounting?

Does anybody know the size of fastener for the four corners? None of the diagrams mention this, they just give the diameter of the hole in the plastic into which the threaded insert is placed. This is the same panel as for the Battery Alarm GX and the Digital Multi Control GX (plastic).


Thanks,


Allan.

Just had a thought, and I Googled threaded inserts with the diagram's 6.4mm hole size and I came up with:


M5 Brass Screw-to-Expand Inserts for Plastics
M5 x 0.8 mm Thread Size, 0.99 mm Thick Flange
Suggested Bit Size/ Hole Size 6.4mm


So while not guaranteed, this would be a good guess.
