Why?

Why have I bought this masonry fixing? It's Rover/MG related and I'll post the answer later with an explanation.

To use as a clutch centering tool ? Let us know if it works !

Cheers

Are you putting up a MG/Rover sign or is it something on the car ?

Subframe bolt?

bolting the gearbox back together? I wouldnt bother, just use some gripfill and duct tape, the gripfill will seal the joint too

To fix the chain from the wheel clamp to the floor maybe? I leave the keys in mine

You fix the bolt to a wall, then attach a chain to it, and reverse at full speed, to straighten out the bent cross member on the accident damaged car you have just bought.?

Both Pete and Dave are right, I suppose everyone knows I'm doing my clutch so it was an educated guess. My clutch lining tools are elsewhere and I didn't need the hassle of cobbling something up. I used the masonry fixing and an old ZT centre cap to bolt them together, I then mounted the whole lot as one unit on the newly cleaned DMF and undid the bolt, gave it a tap to free it and hey presto, job done. It worked a treat and should help others.
