And so it begins. (GL fettling update 2008.1)

I take it you've tried http://www.rivco.co.uk/rivnut.htm ?

 

If it doesn't, I'll weld yer nuts on for you, dear.

 

Harder to come by though (well ivory ones are anyway), but bone is just a
wander to t' butcher shop away.

You obviously know something I don't Simon, but if you can point me to
somewhere I can buy a set of metric AF spanners, I'd appreciate it because
I've never seen any and I want some. I'm a horder of tools, new and old and
a set of AF metrics would almost complete my collection.

Your first fix is free...

 

Metric heads are measured across the flats so you probably already have
metric across the flats spanners.

Popular sizes are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 17mm, 19mm, 22mm and 24mm.
There are some unpopular sizes that have no friends but we don't talk
about them.

 

Split the order? I'll take £15 worth from you.

 

Paging the lurking Motad Man!

 

Ooooo I can fondle your tool in Port Rush then. Wonderful.

I have absolutely no fucking idea what she's on about.

 

Ah, I see. That wasn't obvious from the diagram I saw. it
looked more like there was a threaded piece extending up along a
normal pop-rivet with a shaft that breaks off as normal. Hence I
was having trouble with the concept of re-tightening them.

You boys have lived very sheltered lives, for a pair of
keyboard-warrioring geeks.

 

I got very confused, because I thought she was talking about Eminem's
'Dirty Dozen' until I'd followed the link. Not all "keyboard-warrioring
geeks" are into that D&D-related nonsense, you know.

 

D&D as in Dungeon and Dragons?

Fucking hell. I have got friends you know.

 

I am not sure I am lurking- but Mr Motad is just trying to understand
what the question is relating to this thread

Which collector are you discussing?

Ian McDonald

 

http://www.motad.co.uk/product.php?prod=GL1500+J-K+Goldwing+Replacement+Collector

 

the main advantage of the collector is the price against standard- and
when its fitted you havent got to worry about doing it for years as it
is stainless steel

IM

 

.. and the main (only) disadvantage is that the captive nuts rust and
fail, causing the the problem I have here when attempting to remove
and
refit.

Other than that, it's been fine these past seven years.

The whole system is around 40% of the cost of an OEM system, so don't
think I'm suggesting it's poor value for money. Far from it.
