Never heard of that issue before. I always thought it was a threaded lug on the bodywork rather than a captive nut.

Got any pics?

That would be my port of call. Are you referring to the one on the chassis leg? Or one by the exhaust tunnel?

The ones on the chassis legs can be unbolted again...
IE its a retaining nut inside a cup which is bolted to the leg with two smaller bolts.

Ive had these seize before...had to chop head off and get new 'cup'

Slight hijack.

Can anyone tell me what size bolt 4 is. Part no 350925.
Presume it means m12 x 1.75, just need to know the length.
