Thanks - both
Yes, I've already found the socket issue and thought it was down to excessive powder coating! My mistake....
The other reason I commented on the threaded insert is that it is quite thick and even if I drilled through it it may not provide the clearance for the new bolt to then fit into the nut because its effectively too short.
I do have some crash bungs that I wasnt going to fit which come with some basic threaded bar - I was not sure how good this would be for the job in hand and was going to stick with Ducati bolts instead.
