Hey Jon
We just got back from Cape raul and I noticed the expansion bolts on the anchor at the top of pole dancer are very loose. I tightened them as much I could without pliers but they still need a proper job. Do you know someone who will be heading there soon? If not can you suggest someone else I can get in touch with to get it fixed? Thanks

    I've got some loose plans to head there in march and will have that stuff on me as ill be upgrading the anchors there. 

    please DO NOT put any loc-tite on those, or any anchors. Will just provide a massive pain in the arse when(not if) they need replacing. Spring-washers are a good idea however.

      good point - true if you use the stuff that sets like super glue. The red stuff (can't remember the name/number) however you can still undo the nut ok, just with a bit of extra force required (from experience).

    if you place two nuts on each bolt they will lock down for now.  or use a standard nut and a nylon nut if you can get it on.

    u bolts . way forward
