How to install bike rack on metal studs?

Hi all, i want to install steadyrack classic version in my garage. However when i drilled 2 pilot holes (cirled in blue in the photo) at where studs were detected, they appeared to be metal but not timber. Do you know which fixings should i use? The fixings that come with the racks are M8 x 50mm and M6 x 50mm.

Hi @antta,

 

In this situation, it would be best to contact the manufacturer of the bike racks for their recommendations. They will be able to advise whether there is a suitable method of installation, and if so, which fixings would be suitable.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
