Threadlocker or studlocker will do the job just fine. Edit: grade 271 for stud lock was the engineering grade i used.

There were a couple of threads/forum posts on alltrac.net, which I found useful and I think the information you need is in there. Have a search, there are pics too. Forgot to bookmark them though, sorry.

Small ones are definitely 3.5" as I replaced mine a few weeks back. And your tape measure doesn't lie. I'm not sure about the larger one, I'm not sure that they are standard?

If anyone is genuinely interested in this car i.e. currently bidding to buy then I'd be happy to go have a look- it's only a couple of miles down the road. Personally I think it's a reasonable advert in the monetary sense, he's started it at scrap money and all his feedback for selling old wreckers are positive.

If you can get the bloke to drop it off in Dartford, then I can look after it until you can arrange something? Haven't really got the time tbh to pickup, courier etc.

Of course, I'm not criticising. Ansys has a number of different options as to how things are fixed together for simulations, I'm yet to find a standardised way that people approach it. I was just curious to see if you'd looked at it and had any thoughts. Just for interest really.

Ok no worries, just wondering how other people model welds, bolts etc.

Quick Ansys question if you don't mind? Not related to flow though.. Are the models a complete assembly? How are they fixed and what are the relationships between the support and the wing? i.e. have you modelled bolting etc? Cheers!
