Hi Simon,

The rear beam bolts on my Mossie were underneath the I beam and had a flat square stainless piece welded on them instead of a hex head. I had a bit of a time getting to the nuts on the inside, however I found that a long tube socket attached to one of those flexible shafts with the socket bar on the end of that did the trick.

It took a hell of a long time to do each one as I was lucky to get one click out of the bar each time <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. By the time I had finished it I had no skin left on my arm where it went into the hatch hole. Looked like I'd been ringbarked! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I have skinny arms, but found I had more room when I removed the hatch frames. Perhaps enlist one of the neighbourhood kids if your arms look like Arnies. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
