Are all the bolts the same length, maybe a long one was put in a short hole & cracked someting (bloody painful !)

Yup, all same length, the overtightend scenario seems more likely, pretty sure they got a brass insert tho ?

What like poppers ? Not M8 bolts which you bolt into the brass inserts ? Notice your in OZ and wonder if this is simply a word association mix up ?
