Hey, cheers for the advice, when I previously searched the forum with this problem, all the relevant responses were from you!
I really don't want to make any new ones, and I would have a go at re-tightening it myself, just there's a bolt already stuck in the fitting so I can't. I imagine that if I could cut off the outer, the inner will just fall out and leave a hole ready for a new nut.. no?
Just thinking, if they made the profile of the inside part square, then you could shove a post down the tube, with a notch in it, and hold it in position from the inside.. unfortunately I can see down the seat-tube and its round.
I fix lots of these on frames recently ,if you can reset the old ones like mentioned above do so .On new ones I always smear some epoxy on the nut to hold it tight when it sets
