    Well done and very nice write up. Your handle is meaningfull.

    In order to prevent the new 8mm bolt from backing out (other than using a lock-tight or equivalent product and waiting), one could thread an 8mm nut onto the bolt prior to inserting and then use it to lock the bolt in place. Difficult to explain, easy to do
