Hello Chris. Indeed they are quite small, based on the size of the vacated rivet holes. I was only using a little spanner! I always thought a bolt of any size was meant to snap or shear before it stripped its thread? That's why I came to the conclusion that it was an alignment/evenness problem (although, accepted, if the steel wasn't the right stuff that would do it too). I would dearly love to simply leave it where it is, Nylocs and all under three coats of paint, but given the shaft is largely hidden away, and is the most fundamental bit of the braking system, I just don't trust it I'm afraid.
