Fifty virtual dollars to the first person to work out what's going on here:

you had a striped screw and used grab it to get it out and then put a new screw back in?

that grab it stuff has saved me a few times

[PaulE]

You are removing an allen bolt that has been rounded off with an easy out on what looks like a Porsche 996 or 997 cabrio and installing a replacement to mount that bracket.

[Neil]

Both correct, PaulE has more of the situation, but what is the bracket for?

[tuscanyswe]

Are you making some kind of one of a kind bike rack for the 996?

[Neil]

I'd love to claim that, but no - I'm bolting together (with some small challenges being presented by 18 year old bolts) the product of a Porsche engineers set-square and pen.

Roll bar mount? Looks like a convertible top folded up.

[tuscanyswe]

Is it this one? Almost looks like a coupe .)

I had the opportunity to pick one of those up for my Boxster and passed. Too many opportunities for scratched paint on the Boxster.

[Neil]

Yep, I'll finish fitting it tomorrow hopefully - had to go and get this today which ate into my "how does this bolt on" time today:

I have to be honest, I do have a thing for sporty station wagons. I find them way cooler than sport coupes. Only if mechanics in volvos was easy, specially in the electric/electronic dept.... I would have bought one of those volvo station wagons long time ago.

Had a few minutes before heading to the airport this morning:
