If it leaks with new copper washers then they could be too hard. Try annealing them. Alternatively you could use Dowty washers instead.Dave

Hi Paul,Originally posted by GATS View Post
you will probably find that the bolt is stretched and not straight any more, you can see this if you put a steel rule along side it and the holes in the side of it look elongated. you may get away with fitting a couple of Dowty washers, (i think that's how you spell it) I think Robsport sell them. That's what I did, if not you need to source another bolt which are rarer than rocking horse S**T.

I may have a couple you can have Paul but they are in the workshop at work, I'll have a look Monday. in the meantime can you measure the bolt O/D and let me know what it is if you have it removed, if not don't worry.Originally posted by GATS View Post
