Maybe after a certain amount of time with the vibration they do just work themselves loose, don't recall seeing any thread lock on so maybe a design flaw? who knows only time will tell Ive made into a sticky just in case and hopefully anyone else may be able to add to the thread or blow the theory out the water
I was however, wondering if it would do any harm running an earth to chassis off one of the five bolts.? (A bit like the old fuel gauge fix..!)
I was thinking of putting an extra nut on each thread to lock em in anyway?
Must have something to do with how the magnet sits near to the outer caseing imo causing static leccy?

Some sort of alloy..?
