Thanks all for the advice, i used a combination of all of those - from nut splitters, angle grinders, cold chisel, sodding big lump hammer. I've also bought new bits and SS nuts and bolts to replace them all with. Thanks again.

The nuts are rounded and awkward to get to. In general would a dremel be more use than one of those oscillating tools? I think I need to buy something to help cut the nut but can't work out which would be most use in general. Any thoughts?

I'm looking to add a set of spots and a flashing orange beacon to my defender for a weekend event. I want to add a couple of switches and am trying to work out the best way of doing this. I was wondering if I could make use of the space in the ashtray and whether there was a known kit that...
