Christmas Teaser from the Shed: Can anybody guess: A. Where this is from? B. What happened? No prizes...just for fun! (Chris, you aren't allowed!)
Fuckin nigh on spot on....close enough for a cigar! Filed down as I couldn't get any of my 10mm spanners or sockets to fit without slipping off. Due to the proximity of the frame/head/70mm header The tools kept slipping and I eventually rounded the copper nut off like a real gimp. Last resort...file the bastard in half and get the centre punch on it! All in the name of vanity so I can get the exhaust polished! R
I recognised it right away. If exhaust stud nuts show the slightest signs of seizure I dremel the side off them until the tips of the threads are showing and they just come away no problem. I do the same to car exhaust bolts but usually with an angle grinder. Never fails.
What is the name for those bolts that flange(?) out at the base? I need 2 but don't know what to look for.
