These are apparently some kind of "special" bolt. There was a pretty lengthy
thread on this a while back. They do have a slightly unusual head. Kind of a
recess in them.

That thought occurred to me as well. One reason I suspect the rotor is that I
"messed" around with them while rebuilding the suspension (why? I didn't know
any better) and didn't take the care reassembling them that they really
needed - again, I didn't know any better until the thread concerning them
came up. Thankfully I was much more careful with the rest of the suspension.
So I'm afraid that bit of ignorance may be haunting me now. Believe me I'm
going to be checking everything I can think of though.

I'll still be there. I'm probably going to shoot for a lunchtime arrival,
maybe a little earlier. Maybe all the attending listers can meet for lunch? I
LOVE their beef sandwiches!
I'll be wearing my red Spridget list shirt and olive green MG cap. Keep an
eye out for me!
