Posted 2 years 1 month ago #200119Also, always grease the threads as standing by the side of the road trying and failing to unscrew the retainer can cause mental breakdown.
As happened on a group trip to Scotland. The thread was so seized it was beginning to deform the bulkhead rather than unscrew...:bat:

The original ones were probably made in Smethwick, the same design was on the 1982 metros.
