Wow Scott that's brilliant, everything including guitar sounds good, vocal came over very well.
If they do give me a choice and want to refund me, I will have to keep that Valencia in mind when looking for a replacement.
Thanks again.
Scott put me on to Rondo music and I did purchase a Valencia classical guitar from them a number of years ago. It still sounds great and is still in mint condition. I also bought a number of electric guitars from Rondo music. You get real value for little cost at Rondo music.

I lot of brand names are now Made In China I would counter sink 2 bolts with tapered heads and put a 1/4 wooden plate on the underside with nylock nuts and washers.
This is exactly the method a guitar shop used on my 12 string acoustic guitar. I was lucky as I noticed the bridge coming loose when it first began separating and quickly got it to a repair shop. The shop even painted the bolt heads almost the same color as the bridge so the bolts are not noticeable at a glance. The guitar was purchased in 1972 and the repair was made in 1975.

That happened to a 1975 Takamine steel string guitar I bought new. I cleaned the area underneath and used a light weight glue by gorilla glue. Clamped it carefully, and then when it dried I ran two small thin bolts through a thin piece of very hard ash wood cut to match the saddle. Both pieces had been predrilled. I also added glue to the new “backing plate” and fastened it with as Pipeline said nylon nuts. That was around 2003. 17 years later it is still holding and the sound is even better than before.
Another fun alteration was to remove the rear strap button, and drill the hole out and add a cord plugin, and solder to it a small glue on dean markley round pick up right behind the saddle on the inside.
Sometimes it is actually fun to work on something like this.
Wow just realized that it broke 28 years ago, and is now 45 years old. I need to play the old gal more often.

Thanks once again for all replies, nice guitar Jim.
Well after a few emails and calls with Thomann's they will replace the guitar once they get the old one back, I did find no matter what it says on the website about customer after care, you still have to strongly put forward your case, but seems to to be working out ok.
Seems if you are going to go about this job yourself, getting a proper clamp is very important, I was looking at this one on ebay, but just dont understand how this one could work as nothing goes inside the soundhole of the guitar if replacing the Bridge
