Big nuts………

These are what I have .

20mm of bolt/shaft thread sticking out, and the nuts first 3mm is curved

I thought I would try plan C which is in fact Plan A first, calling mate Kevin Kelly, but his wife answered the phone, he was doing plumbing…. Bad idea to bother him.

So I went to plan D which is plan B and drove less than a mile to Cliff’s Auto Repairs (he did some work on the MX5 about 8 years ago, and I have been there since.

Plans A&B which really were C&D were to purchase from Ebay and wait a week, or Amazon and own an expensive “single use tool”

So Cliff whipped out a long 27mm for me and wished me luck,

Fingers crossed we are up to the job.

I may get to it tonight after work if I can find some time, having a sandwich on the side right now at my desk.

Quick bit of Eye Candy

We can all dream ehhhh.
