The catch is not in a bad state, so I will restore it.

A quick question, the boot is taken off by the 2 bolts either side. I have taken the nuts off both of them. But cannot shift the bolts. Is there a nut sucken in the fibre glass?

I think they might be seized as I put a lot of weight behind the ring spanner and nothing moved either side.

A soaking in plus gas it will be and another go.
