I think work might have stopped. I decided to loosen the bolts while waiting for the schoolboy, and struggled with the spring retaining one.

And Brookhouse aren't answering the phone - the spring retainers I bought didn't come with bolts/ nuts. Hmm...
Pack it with a thick washer or two (trial fit to ensure the nut goes all the way on if using both washers), tighten it slightly tighter (~25-30lbft) and use Loctite threadlock on it Chris.
