In Response To: Strip: Footbrace rail installation (LisaS)

: Lisa,

If you buy the ones shown from newfound, do yourself a favor. dont use the aviation nuts they send with them. If you try to tighten them too much it snaps the bolt off. Then off you go to sears to buy the $50.00 tap and die set to get the proper die to re-thread the bolt. Use stainless lock washers and stainless nut.
That was my experience anyway. Yeah I do know what 1/4 past stripped is.
Installing the bolts is a no-brainer and they work great.
cheers, Elliott
