Ceased bolt in windlass #solution
Daniel Alexander Thompson
Team Amel
Photo attached.
The head of a 6x20mm bolt has been severed and the threading is ceased into the cast of the windlass. I've attempted to turn it with pliers and a plumbers wrench. I've tried WD40. No movement at all.
I don't know the name of the part that the bolts secure.
Any suggestions for how to get the bolt out or a temporary fix to stop the chain wrapping under the gypsy.
