What is the racing trick to keep these sucker tight???
Is it just part of weekly maintenance??? Or, is there a fabbed kit out there to put in longer bolts and a nylon nut on the back? Or, how about drilling out the heads and wiring them in somehow????? Rich |

Or, how about drilling out the heads and wiring them in somehow????? yes, new washers, every time. torque the fasterners to spec, 33 lbs/ft IIRC. i drill them for safety wire, no 'somehow' to it, really. i wire them in pairs. standard 0,032" safety wire twisted with safety wire pliers. hit the side of the head with a small grindstone in a Dremel, then use a 1/16" cobalt bit in a drill press; use plenty of cutting oil, NBD. i like to re-torque the inboard ends after a week of road use and then wire them, the outboard ends get it before installation. some use a half-height Nylock nut on "too long" bolts; i've never done that but i'm sure it'd work. |
