Is it me or do these screws look like they have a left hand thread?

    Approx 455mm worktop, Can't go the full 600 or use 560mm deep cabinets as the alcove is only 435mm. Using 300mm base units and going to bring them forward to the level of the wall at the front of alcove. to enable the maximum width of worktop possible. Will be putting a batten on the wall to support the rear of the worktop.

    Ahh, so your using wall cabinets as base units? Done something similar a few years ago on a kitchen fit. I simply put a length of timber across the wall at the height I wanted the units at. (no need for a frame full height)
