Well i have decided to go to center gravity after all, im paranoid about my cars not just about the service i will receive but also about possible damage to my car they may cause, im booked in for around 11am Saturday for the inspection, and possible geometry depending on if anything will need doing to the car, otherwise it will be next early next year when funds allow!
I have bought a can of penetrate spray and i am going to be spraying what i think are the bush's and bolts every day leading up to saturday in the hopes it may help free them up a little, worth a try for £5 i guess.

It is not difficult, mark the existing positions on the cams with a centre punch or chisel (so you can reset them back if they move) undo the retaining nuts and try to rotate the bolts. They will give a bit in the rubber but you need to make sure they are properly free.
Unfortunately from this morning I am a bit busy as I began to replace the suspension on my 69 "B"
Good Luck

If you're up north you should have looked into Daytona Autos in Cheshire as he is on the forum (DaytonaDave) and is very helpful from experience.
Its better to go somewhere close in case you find out everything is seized rather than wasting the hours of driving and fuel when there is potential that they can't do anything.

I used Chris many moons ago when I lived closer, now I use Ray
