    or weld on a nut and turn it with that,. the heat will penetrate the whole stud and make it easier to undo. i always dab a bit of copper slip on the new stud to prevent galvanisation of the two metals

    our group was an RC scout group set up in the grounds of the church 70 years ago. Left footers only back then. All changed now as the scouts even have multiple promises for each faction.

  23. whys it still on this forum then Lithium ion batteries won't take a charge more than 13v or it will fail. the way they operate Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.
