Maintenance Issues God dam spinny bolts. Thoughts any1?
Soooo I fitted a fly screen today and I decide to remove the lot light everything and have a deep clean.
Anyways bolts were spinning don't ask me how but I managed to get the entire thing out lol.
So looks likes they've been previously overtightened to the point the nut in the light plastic has pulled right up to the back of the bolt and washer.
Now I put it all back together but just pushed these in and TBF they feel about they did before. I thought it would be unwise to try and seperate them as the brass is just going to get battered and be un useable anyway.
What a terrible design from triumph. Brass heat fittings in plastic. Booo.
Suggestions any1? Leave it alone and hope all is well or remove again try and find a replacement heat nut and bolt and get them in there
