Help, Been winding these bolts for ages, they've come out so far about half an inch and now they just seem to keep turning. You can see the end of the bolt head turning on top of the system.

What do they screw into :cry:

The Zard does look good, but I'm with Al - the Akra is super-sexy 8)

They go into a sort of rubber gromit.
When they "seem to keep turning" you should be able to just pull them out.

Yes, they are somewhat of a bitch to get out. I used a pair of pliers or other lever to push them away from the frame whilst simultaneously continuing to turn them with the ratchet.

When you put them back in, having someone push against he end of the pipe isn't a bad idea either.
