[Herald 1200 Rear Overrider Lower Captive Nut]

Thanks Both.

I did release the bolt eventually (Mole grips preventing the nut cage being prised apart) - but the bolt was good and stuck in the nut - even with copious releasing oil I struggled! Clive - good idea. Will have to take it to someone who welds (wish I'd learned all those years ago!!). Cheers. C.

Hi All. 

Can anyone tell me, please, the rear overrider lower fixing captive nut specification?

I must have cross-threaded this last time round without knowing it. Bolt was a devil to remove. I don't posses a thread cutting set, so intend to coax (gently!) one side of the nut housing, remove the old and replace. I bought a new bolt as I had to destroy the old one. 

If anyone knows where to obtain same, I'd also be interested. 

Thanks.

Gents:- all the above opinions are what I needed to know - thanks very much. Always like to try jobs myself if I think they're achievable. Have done most mechanicals and a lot of filler & paint repair jobs myself (shooosh!!) in the past, but as you rightly say, without a second pair of hands, probably best to call in 'the firm' . . . :-) Once again, thanks.

[Window Rubber Seal Fit on my Tod?]

Folks:- I have been titivating my 1970 Herald 1200 Saloon over the last few months to make her look more respectable and eventually coax her out on the road again. I think I can black window seal repair my front screen rubber - but the rear is pretty well u/s.

If I buy a replacement seal (apparently the quality of these new items is questionable??) and I have looked at copious YouTube examples of a single person doing same, but as I've not done this before, what chance does anyone think I have of re-installing the glass with new seal on my own ??!!??

All thoughts welcome . . .
