The real spanner-twiddlers on here probably see this kind of thing every day, but I was kinda impressed ...

And the recipe? Take a stainless steel button screw, thread into aluminium and leave for 14 years.  Remember to water occasionally, preferably with something salty ...

(No, it won't be going back in, the little bast**d).

Yeh, you're right, Piet.  But I can be very patient when the job requires it!  The next one was less obliging, however  ...

Yes, that used to be a button screw, folks  :o.  Freakin' useless crap - I'll be using an Allen screw or even a hex screw. And CopaSlip.

And I'll say it before you do: the bolts that Zan? used were 100% shite!  ;)

Ciao
