Yeah, I think it'll have to stay on till the swing arm is off.

Re your second point. Are you talking about replacing of bolts and upgrading them instead of swapping like for like?

Yes, I know there are some on here that would prefer to replate the originals for the sake of originality, but I can't help thinking that will be asking for trouble in 5-10 years time when they've seized up again.

I mean they're already so old and probably partly rounded out anyway so replating them won't make them any better.
