I managed to unscrew the nuts on the Mini U Bolts without breaking them - Yeah a small victory as at $19.95 each to replace they aren't cheap.
After 2 days in Evaporust, the nut holding the spring stack together came right off. And that nut is not a standard size. Bigger that 1/2" smaller than 9/16 and not a 14 mm i.e. Must be Whitworth
I was able to loosen both without breaking the bolt.
Now on to the spring clamps. I succeeded in getting all 4 to come off without stripping the heads. Those threads are not 1/4 x 28 as far as I can tell. WTH Sells Whitworth Hardware. And does anyone know the correct size. Yes I could replace with a 1/4" Screw and a bolt but if I can find a Whitworth Screw... All the better.
