Make the holes bigger and use some cheap bulkheads and use fittings to seal them

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it won't work. The holes are right on the corner as well as a ridge around the bottom. There isn't room for a bulkhead and gasket.

Marine Goop should work just use lots of it.

Will I find this at a LFS, or elsewhere?

Thanks,

Just glue or silicone would scare me. I would try to get some nylon screws or bolts and nuts, then use silicone or glue with them. I have seen the screws, bolts and nuts at a few hardware stores but you can almost be sure to find them at a radio control hobby store that has RC Airplanes. Great Hobbies comes to mind......

Thanks all. I'll go have a look for the stuff tomorrow.

The holes are pretty small so I may get away without a bolt or other plug, but I agree that it is worth trying to find something. I'm hydrotesting it first and have a concrete floor to work with so I've been willing to trial and error.
