I think at least one mentioned something that sounds very similar if not identical.
You'd have to crimp the connectors to fit them, and if you did you'd ruin the IP rating...
Yes, sorry. I've edited post to clarify.
I would purchase some stainless fixings and replace all the offending bolts.
I think I'd whip it out, give the head a wire brushing, and replace. You could put a bit of paint in it with a touch up pen or brush; or replace with stainless.
The footrest is such a huge psychological barrier for Troby, it intrudes into every thought process
Freud would have a field day. A fieldmaster day probably.
Bear in mind that stainless is higher up the galvanic scale making the vehicle body become the anode and not the fixing. If you do replace with stainless, best to use some form of electrical isolation paste.
Titanium is even lighter , so he can reduce the GVM a tiny tiny bit!
What was that about again?
I dunno. The usual speculation that IA had no idea about these matters.
Using a kid's small paint brush or a "cotton bud", carefully dab the rusted part with rust converter. When it turns black, wash with plenty of water then dry with a microfibre cloth. Find a close "touch up" paint match and dab the area with the aforementioned paint brush. Once dry you won't be able to tell where the "repair" was...
I usually dry with a spot of methylated spirits to instantly get rid of any water.
That's me told! Interesting to know though. I have replaced fixings before and not noticed any problems, but I don't doubt your reasoning.
One of those things where 9 times out of ten, it will make no difference however, occasionally it can become an issue. Especially if combined with something far down the scale such as aluminium
with new vehicles I bet a lot of playing/exploring into functions is going on and as a consequence a few things may need resetting.
