Yes Dave, I was thinking I could get some 1mm wall tube, 8mm inside dia. and 10mm external.
Or I could remove the studs, and take the holes out to 10mm, but I'm not sure how deep they are. Over square (ish) would not be good.
Then I remembered a exhaust stud thread on here recently where I advocated taking them out to 8mm, and someone mentioned a 6mm to 8mm stud, so I shall see if I can find 8mm to 10mm studs. Then I'll tap out the nuts to 10mm, as they are a small outside diameter to fit in a recess. That or 10mm nuts with washers under. We shall see.
