I had been hoping to salvage the indicators for sale or swap, but they are in a horrible state. To the tip they go methinks.
Got a couple of hours in today without my helper, she decided a Princess Party was a better offer.So I thought I'd take some demolition tools with me and get medieval on that damn rear mudguard to get it out. I can sum the day in one word, to be fair. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I lost 2 hours of my life to 2 bolts. 2 HOURS!!! And I think I have broken a bone in my hand in the process. I tried heat, chiselling, tried clearing enough room to shear the bolt. Nothing. Ended up (after missing my target and clouting my hand with a hammer - hence the breakage...) having to drill in stages into the retaining nuts to try and split them. Even that ended up in several broken bits and a lot of swearing. Even after I split them, they were so rusted to the bolts I couldn't just split them off! Never come across anything like it.Anyway, eventually got the damn things off and I have never felt such a wave of triumph in all my days. The small victories, eh?I know this will look ridiculous to the serious engineers amongst you, but what an absolute ball-ache this was.Drilling...
