Evening
Asking for guidance from anyone who has experience on this-
I need to remove the OSR wing
I've read the guide here viewtopic.php?t=121246 by simon 3.2M and its good- thank you
However- taking the front wing off its clear on investigation that the hex headed bolts are very slightly spot welded, you can hear them break with a pop as they come off and you can see the small dab when you look at them
So- my concern is, with the difficult bolt described in the link, what do I do if (like I very nearly did on the front wing) strip the hex head?
Anyone got any advice? Apart from don't strip the bolt!?

I was fortunate as i did it with the roof removed ....but saying that there is only the one screw/nut which is covered by Simon 3.2, that was a bit difficult/ hidden. The 2 screws at the back end of the fender where it meets the Bumper where my biggest challenge, as the where rusted fast .A bit of trickery with a small cutting disc sorted that problem. Just patience and perseverance and a break between each screw and it will soon be done . Good Luck.
