Cut out and rivet aluminium. Plate in

Well, @ER1C , your post worked… Got the chainsaw out today for a small job in the garden. Started it. Stopped it. Went back in and got some safety goggles on 😎

Britpart and Terrafirma?

My only worry with the copper grease on the studs is all torque recommendations tend to say "dry" and I know there is a lot of umming and ahhing over use of grease of any kind but IMHO the general view was they are best dry.

My post office nearly ended up charging me when I filled the form in until a senior came over and said its free....

Link was example only....agree

Same type I have, but not Nielsen. Nielsen make garbage. If you buy lifting or compressing tools, don't cheap out.

Get the clam style...

You can cut them ?

Handle to start ?

It's one of those modern plastic coil sprung things. A car of some sort. Probably got those fancy wind up windows and such like.

Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.

Yeah mine with the same 2 for some reason not sure why the back was shorter

For what it's worth I went for longer studs as well

That's what I thought, not happy as they are.

Hands up - I hardly ever reach for them when cutting/grinding (not that I do that much). I will now - so thanks for the reality check 👍
