What do you mean "Squint" ? It's no special thread or size. If the hole or thread rather is crossed, just re-tap and away you go :thumbs

It's ok, I got one from r1cho. Wasn't keen on useing the wrong bolts as it'll damage threads. And unlike the guy I've been cleaning up after, I'm not bodging it again!
