Has anyone heard of these pop rivet type things that are removable via a screw thread, do exactly the same job but you can apparently undo them whenever you want, and dont say "bolts":D Trying to find the Trade name so I can fit this Bonnet protector??

Threaded pop rivets both male and female threads are available, and can usually be purchased at any decent fastener supplier. Marston & King Klik are brands that come to mind.

The King Klik system uses a standard pop riveting tool and a reusable mandrel which is screwed into the internally threaded rivet and used to pull the rivet into place then screwed out to reuse. The Marston externally threaded rivets are also set with a standard tool.

I don't want to get into a technical debate on this, just does anyone have a similar problem with the link?

The next one down works fine as does any others on the site.

I found that the problem is with my system.

I updated to Adobe Acrobate Reader version 8 still without success.

Have updated everything from Microsoft without success.

I can right click and save target to hard drive then open with Acrobate.

Very strange.

Bad mix, Land Rover and Microsoft I suppose :D .

Some firewall won't open PDF formats, mine at work won't, i can only open HTML and even then sections will have access denied in some cases.

This could be the problem.

I can't open it either
