Violet Elizabeth Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The turny bit on one of the bottom fasteners has fallen off. Can this be replaced, or do I have to un-rivet and re-rivet a new one back in ? Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 12, 2014 Member Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hmmm... Caterham only seem to offer the whole fitting. But you can buy studs (the bit that turns) elsewhere. Size is in the archives. But the archives also reveal that many people don't use any lower fitting! Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I also had one fall out a while back now, but an upper one. Still trying to work out how it went walkabout with the bonnet still attached! It seems three is enough to hold it. sidebar -- I like to pronounce Dzus as "Dee-zuhss" (rhymes with "Jesus") just for a laugh. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Three seems ok. Seems a pain to fit, as they are captive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Auton Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 They centre rotating bit is fairly easy to remove by "gently" squashing the prongs together a little and then re-open them when you put it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
