No probs Ben. Yes, thanks Al. Ace pack but when I looked at where it needed sewing I thought of the ends of my fingers. Even with that finger protector Stu suggested when I redid the zip on my Wildcat, I reckon I'd have hurt...

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!
Found a mobile welder (hopefully he gets back to me soon) who asked me to send pics. Would this be the right call!! https://i.imgur.com/YP3bLZo.jpeg Gonna ask him to weld this 10mm bolt onto the 12mm. Hoping he has enough exp to not weld to the outer/female end! Looks to be enough access for someone...

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!
Thanks Stu. Access is really difficult and I'll probably end up welding the bar around the hole (now that I've snapped off the bit sricking out ). Mate has a Snap On welder which I'm sure is gasless so that'd have been an option if we could get into the gap

Re: Off Topic - siezed, rusted, possibly double threaded, sheared bolt extraction advice!
Jon, yes it can't be removed. All one heap of connection to the suspension/track rod etc. I tried the cold treatment with heat before that. Couldn't really get a purchase with the mole-grips. Used the nut extractor tool that the chap at Screwfix had suggested and informed me he'd had his wheel bolts...

Re: WTD knackered rucksacks
Hi ben. I have a excellent little project for ya. Bought for a tenner or less on here but it was beyond my scope of ability... Basically needs some sewing but I darent think how hard it would be due to the thicker/layering of materials. Got it off Al on here so he might be able to fill in more detai...

Thanks all. Yes, do know someone with a welder but he's 10 miles away. Local garages, I'm not too familiar with and my last garage I gave up hope on after he left the brakes unbled then said he nled em 8 times. So a welder ideally which I was hoping I might get away without, especially since it's a ...

The intact one. Someone mentioned online about heating it all up and then using the ice spray to hear a satisfactory 'pop' as the bond breaks. But that ice sprays says to not use it on heated metal!

Sorry for having to ask on here. But I doubt I'd get a better range of quality input from anywhere else. Doing the break job on the rear of the car. A big car and the bolts to remove the calipers are 2 x M19. 3 of them undid nicely but the 4th was taking forever to come out. Had the Halfords Advance...
