does it take 8 (yes 8) diferent sized spanners to change the exhaust gasket on a Srs One, and why did I think that such an easy job would only take half an hour and not the 3 and a half hours ,three trips to the garage for assorted bolts that have run away with the sockets,it actualy took?
Why........

Or 'cos it's 50 years old and probably had over a 100 different mechanics work on it . . . . . .
At least all the nuts and bolts are Imperial sizes ... not a mixture of that and metric :-)

They were a mix of metric and imperial.I think next time I will take ALL the sockets, spanners and adjustables just to be sure.
Any news on the hardtop?
Next time I'd replace the bolts, nuts and studs with the right ones, so that the time after that the problem won't arise.

Done that, and will try to replace all the nuts,bolts and studs with, if not the right ones,some that are all the same.
