Exhaust Bolts part 2 (Day 54)

 We are still on exhaust bolts. Now trying 50/50 mix of brake fluid and cellulose thinners. I will paint this concoction on twice a day for a week.
I also bought a decent hex bit that fits nicely in the hex bolt and allows me to attach a nice socket wrench.  Only just fits (you can see it touching the exhause manifold) so it is not lined up entirely square.  I also have the problem of how to reach the other bolts for cylinders 2 and 3.  Apart from the exhaust manifold getting in the way, the frame tubes are an additional obstruction.  The set up shown below will not work with these cylinders!
