Update 2!
FUCK IT! It's going to the garage!
I've sheered the thread off the bolts (as mentioned above). I then spent £23 on a halfords std extracting kit that had a part for 6mm bolts. That won't grip the bolt because they are now thinner than 6mm from sheering the thread, so there's £25 wasted (including the nuts I bought this morning) and I've managed to waste half a day and I'm in the same position as I started this morning!
What a waste of time and money that was!!!!!!
I've got the serious ARSE now, at 0800 this morning I had a bike that worked, one I could ride and one that was doing a good job. I have no idea how the previous owner stopped the pipes from leaking with only one nut per stud on two downpipes, but they did. I now, having put it back together have a bike that's blowing like a gooden, is unsuable and I need my bike for work on Tuesday! :'( Propper fucked off! :'(

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
