RE: About the strength of the bolt... |

No I do not think it is stronger than the straight 3/8 bolt and I agree with your analysis of that. The 13/32 portion of the bolt must come down far enough to give the rodcap its location relative to the rod itself. What I read from your original post was that you consider the hybrid bolt a problem and stated you would be quite reluctant to use them. The bolt getting crooked in the hole I do not see as a problem. All rod bolt threads had clearance in the drilled hole and the possiblilty of moving around. A square face on the cap and the correct lube would eliminate that issue. The nut will stay concentric with the bolt as long as the loading is even as with a square face. When George redid my rods he remachined that face after rough hoining to endure the nut would be square to the threads. |
