They are special shouldered bolts. http://www.chevsofthe40s.com/Shop/s...p;searchtype=FT&Catalog=RO&go=goIt is interesting that they now list stainless and regular steel. Not too long ago the best price anyone could find for a stainless steel set was at least $100, I think. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | At $100 a set, I'll get a couple of bars from McMaster and start turning them out on my bench lathe one at a time.
What's with the Avatar Tim, you stay up late last night designing that???

I've never had problems with those bolts (as long as you carefully install them with no cross-threading. Too dear for me, even at $50. __________ In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.
