Pilot Error Bolt 31-Mar-2016 At 3:37:44 PM Dave_S

It is done. The old bolt was some kind of nail-drive expansion. It actually didn't look too bad, and the hanger may have merely been loose due to the nature of this bolt design not allowing the bolt to be tightened onto the hanger. There was maybe 5mm of axial movement in the hanger. I had a go at removing it, but couldn't get it out, as the spanners I'd brought (in expectation of a dynabolt) weren't of any use, and I didn't have a grinder with me. I did manage to work it out an additional 5mm, so it's now looser than ever and should probably be chopped. I've covered the old hanger in tape to discourage people from clipping it. (It'd be fine to clip in addition to the new bolt, but I wouldn't want people seeing two bolts and randomly clipping one and not the other.)
