Default Cat bolts
Been to honda this morning to get some new cat bolts .

Avonvale in Coventry, very helpful and impressed with how well they dealt with customers. They also only charged me 1p for each of the bolts and springs, so the whole lot came to about

They are specific bolts with two 'heads', one sits against the flange, the other is for the spring to sit against.

Will be fine with some copperslip and yearly cat fitting.

4inch angle grinder came to the rescue.

The nuts on them are odd. Dont feel quite right for a 12mm socket. No wonder they are a pain to remove. Doesnt help that they are deformed to stop them vibrating off.
