Thankfully they gave no trouble in Scotland, except for a slight rattle. So when we got home I nipped them up. But one side just let go. This seems to be a brass casting and the threaded stud was aerated......................
The threads are a bit offine at the base and clearly the thread locking found the weakness.
So nothing for it but to cut the stud flat and centre-punch ready to drill out.
After drilling.............
Next I cut half the head off two bolts........quicker than filing.
The thinned down bolts were threaded through and araldited in place.
I may pad the back with some neoprene or leather before refitting.
So the moral of this story is - don't overtighten!
