[QUOTE="norcal rider, post: 1457798, member: 88329"] I'm a novice with electrics compared to Brodie so I guess I got lucky. Nothing burnt. Nothing deformed. Just dead one day to the next. First time the red wire solder joint totally came loose. Obvously a cold joint. I cleaned it up with alcohol, fluxed it up, and resoldered to the board. Fixed. Second time one of the other wires came loose, so followed the same procedure. Fixed. No problems since then. As far as bolt length, I don't recall size or length (5 or 6mm?) but not too difficult to determine. Once you drill out the security bolt heads, take the remnants to your local hardware store for replacements. I recommend getting stainless bolts. Torque? Just tight enough with a little bit o' blue loctite on the threads will be good. Maybe 20 Nm? Sorry I can't be more specific. First repair was probably six years ago, the second over a year ago so details are very fuzzy in my little pea brain. Good luck with this! Let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
