This arguement over bolts,nuts,lock washers,fittings is as old as the hills.
I started driving "open wheel" competion cars in the late 60"s early 70"s,when you really had to rely on military surplus to get real quality fastners.

Now,the aftermarket (ARP) sells new quality products at moderate pricing.Alot of design methods and criteria were of individual thinking,and fastener useage was like a "black art" amongst the race car people. The people that i was affliated with,were of the aircraft bent,so we followed those disciplines,witch i think to this day are tits.

I have to say that Caroll Smith"s book Prepare To Win,is THE ONLY book to be used in the prepping of any high performance car.Also,Tune to Win and his book on hardware are fantastic,and should be decision makers for everyone.If only he wrote about women! And Engineer to Win,in my opinion,is the first and last word on all issues on anything that makes noise,is loud,goes fast,runs on some type of fuel,gets hot,and puts a grin on you.Whooa,maybe he did write about women.


Anyhow,take Caroll"s advice,on design and applications,and you will not go wrong.
