Ah I'm late giving follow-up. I ordered an 11mm drill from RS recently and I was surprised to see they sent me a 7/16 Inch without asking. That didn't matter for the job it had to do though. Anyway that sent me thinking about imperial sizes slightly larger than 30mm. Hey presto, a 1 3/16" from 'The Toolpost' gave a good fit for most of the holes. The dowel must have been a little varying in size (it's been around for a bit) so I had to sand about 30% of the holes.
Thanks for all the great workarounds - v. useful skills for the armoury :)
