On second thoughts, it may be prudent if you replace BOTH the 'A' bolts (just to be safe). Spenners are OK so if you want them, let me know ASAP and I'll get them up to you.

"Replace"? I wouldn't have thought these were stretch bolts like the others. I might well be wrong, but I know who my money would be on in a fight between steel and alloy... That said, "just to be safe" is a fairly compelling argument when talking about the head!
What she doesn't know won't hurt me.

They aint stretch bolts, but if they have been overtightened at some stage then they may have possibly been damaged.
