Great Eddy thanks nice one. How long ago did you do this? Are they still holding?
I got two days until into the mechanics maybe 120km's of driving.
Should I avoid driving? Bolts first started rattling 2 days ago?

Tnx

Hoyhoy.

This was done only late in May, had a feel today seems OK.
When it starts sounding like a tractor, thats when you haven't got long to go.

Bolts and then intercooler pipes, Eddy! Sounds like you've been through what I went through...but with a permanent solution on the bolts. How did you manage access to change all the bolts and wire them -- do you have a 3rd arm joint and ET's fingers??...or did you drop the motor?
