Yeah I took the weights off CCF Fibreglass website.
Standard bonnet is around 12kg and doors are close to 30kg I think.
Poly windows are generally 1kg lighter than their glass comparison.
Fibreglass doors are 4.3kg each, plus poly windows and paint obviously. But that's a massive saving over standard.
Fibreglass bonnet is 5kg.
Boot hatch is 4kg.
They do have a magnet inside, but usually only to catch small particles and not broken chunks...
You say it's a 172?
Are you sure it's not just popped the circlip on the diff?
20Nm and then leave it for half an hour.
Check again at 20Nm to make sure, the gasket should have settled a bit.
180° will be fine if you haven't got an angle gauge.
There's a bit of a plastic tab on both the bumper and the wing. Drill a hole in each tab and put a cable tie through both.
Held up well for years on my brother's 225.
