No Rob, it had been tightened in the past to compensate bad struts so we had to take it back 1 spline each side because the doors were going up too fast.

Thanks to everyone that helped on the day. There were a few worrying moments, like taking the bolts out to find that the threads had been stripped. But we soon had it sorted with the help of a builders cutting disk, two longer bolts, and a bit of messing about. I say we but actually it was the other guys. Couldn't have done it without them.
