Looks like I’m heading for a shiny bolt too — had to drill out near side bottom bolt after which the frame came out with some judicious use of a lump hammer.
The plated alloy cappings are nice — I think originally fitted with a moulded rubber piece underneath. I presume these are not available now. I’m thinking of using Tiger seal when re fitting unless there’s something better?
Many thanks again to those who shared their experience— very helpful.

BW913 but it's out if stock...
Shame... I could also use a pair.

BW 913 — yes that’s the fella. Pity OOS — it’s going to be hen’s teeth. I’ll try our Jamie tomorrow otherwise I reckon a good packing of black Tiger seal will keep the weather out.
