If they do not meet your needs, return them! Any attempt to bend the brackets etc will weaken the brackets, and also invalidate the guarantee meaning a return would be out of the question.

Can't the walls be averaged out? Too simple sir!! And I believe an invasive test if the normal, indeed the only way of checking the depth and condition (in case they have been pre filled!) of the cavities.

I am in the process of installing a cat tunnel through a cavity wall. Pictures here: http://www.diynot.com/network/churchilldog/albums/3515 As you can see from the pictures the hole is slightly bigger than the lining, and there is one more lining piece to go in on the outside of the tunnel...

Sounds like it to me as well. Also forgot to mention that the 83mm cavity was the end wall and subsequently the biggest wall- as it has the, erm, pointy bit. Is it called the gable end? Am I right in assuming that the cavity gap won't be perfectly even throughout- so it may be 83mm at the...
