jasonoldy69 1 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey ppl, just bought some fresh plates and I've run into a problem...The screws for the rear are totally rusted. I've managed to pul one screw out but I'm not sure what to do with the other. Do I cut it off? Then how do I go about attaching the new plate with those rusty bolt things in the way?

thegoth 5 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 a squirt of wd40, or even better PlusGas, will soon ease that screw, if you haven't nacked the head.How to you intend to attach the new plates? sticky tape / velcro, screws or plates holders? Link to post Share on other sites

jasonoldy69 1 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Unfortunatly is was too rusted, so WD40 was no good. ended up shaving the screw off and using the double sided sticky tape daleyboy was on about. All done though... Link to post Share on other sites
