Hi 400 owners - most of you will know the pain of doing that cambelt change and you have to take out the little gas strut that blocks everything in. it's a nut and bolt type affair and if you dont loose the nut, getting it back together if you havent got small enough arms can be a right pain.

my idea is to weld the nut onto the body, so i only need to have a long reach rachet to put this back - what are your thoughts, any ideas?
