[Healeys] Fasteners Again

[Bluehealey]

Hi Team
Mike is spot on with this. It has always been 5/16Whit since God was a boy. That is partly where the problems lie. It is toooooo easy to strip the alloy if a 5/16UNC is substituted. Then you are reduced to a nut and bolt solution using anything you have around.
Happy New Year to you all.
