Excellent job mate... thanks! Very Happy

I bought M7x25mmx1mm... guess that was a stroke of luck then! Laughing

Nice one.

Anyone have any idea of a torque setting for these? Couldn't find one in the manual and settled on 10ftlb, but anyone have a better idea?

My problem has been caused by an Alfa dealer I think... sold me M6x15 bolts instead of M6x25!

I remember doing mine to 10ftlb Bob. I think that is correct for that size bolt.

All went well in the end. Chased the broken thread and the correct sized bolt took nicely.

Thanks!
