<DIV>Thanks Curt. </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>I used arp stainless high tensile 170,000 psi bolts,
with an undersized hex head, so there is no issue getting a socket on them. I
also made up a thicker tapered washer so I could apply as much clamping force to
the shock, spread over as big an area as possible. </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>And the back is a drilled piece of mild steel with 2
nuts welded on. </DIV>
<DIV id=AppleMailSignature>Once the nuts are captive, all the effort can be
applied to torquing the bolts up. </DIV>
