This is OT since it is for a problem on my car; highly mechanical though!
The car frame has two (left and right) longitudinal members, which are hollow. Under the engine there is cross member. The cross member is bolted to the longitudinal members; three bolts on either end.
The heads of bolts are inside the hollow members and there is a contraption inside the member that keeps the bolt from turning or from being pushed up. Only the threaded end of the bolt and the nut are visible.
My problem is that this (invisible) contraption has failed on one of the bolts, making it impossible to tighten the bolt (the nut only needs two or three turns).
I again hope that you can help me with some clever suggestions. (The car is Fiat 124 spider, if that helps.)
Thanks a lot!
