The proper fixings work absolutely fine, if used properly. 1/4 turn each and they latch. Its gotta be better than endlessly turning numerous bolts to get them on or off.

Just compare the metal used in both /the genuine ones, more expensive ones given by the guys above vs these from the first thread post/. Seen with the naked eye. There is no difference how you will fit them as the metal used is very thin, weak/soft/mild

I prefer to use these what I make up myself, 10mm self tapers, 3/4 rubber tap washes, size 14 spries, 20mm stainless washers.
I know they are going to last and will withstand removal time and time again. They can also be undone with a battery drill with a 10mm socket bit very fast. 1 2 3 For the front four I use these, added link below. 4 5 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372118086...m=372118086963

The steel the bolts are made from is very brittle, when I tried these the heads steered off them within two weeks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
