Hi all,
I am attaching the stay plates and gudgeons to the Pram model and find that the provided bolts are too thick for the holes in brackets, or the #71 drill hole. The instructions say that the bolts are to be shortened which I can do with clippers, but I am at a loss as to how to get them to fit in the holes without destroying anything.
I have two ideas about this:
1) buy a dremel and file down the nails to a acceptable diameter
2) source some smaller bolts
Any advice would be appreciated, either on the dremel to purchase or where to find the appropriate brass parts, or if there is a more clever solution.
