7d Following......Hollowing..Replace H with F

[paulineward]

Thought of following but didn't get it!

[kayakamina]

Probably should explain in case it comes up again. Loud is abbreviated to F (forte) and Henry (SI unit) to H

[paulineward]

Thanks..don't know how you do it!! How many years have you been doing these? You did tell me once! Only been at the cryptics for a couple of years.. is there hope for me yet??

[kayakamina]

Over 60 years Pauline. As i said before always study the solutions and how they have been reached from the clue.
In good crosswords every word in the clue is relevant.

Is that it for this week then ?

crazy effort mounted (4) ???s...is abrasion correct for extreme dislike of amateur account (8) a?r?s?o?

[kayakamina]

Bats......Stab reversed

I would think Aversion rather than abrasion.
A (amateur) + version

Thought that..back to drawing board on one of others!! Think will give this up as a bad job!!
