The other bad news of course is that these bolts were never intended to go that far in, and so I have cut a new bit of thread along their length. They all went in fine though, except the last one, which just didn't feel right, so I discarded it and used the best of the old ones. Connecting the flexible link pipe was a nightmare - there's not much room up there. Connecting and tightening up the metal link pipe was even worse, but we got there in the end. Here's a picture of the temporary bracket fashioned from one of the disk lock washers. I don't think I'll be leaving this on there very long . . .
