Not Ranked
I am still experimenting with the bolts. I went back to the grade 5 bolts (grade 8 gets brittle and snaps) on one side and I am trying Military grade stainless steel on the other. I haven't checked yet to see which one is holding up better but both are working and went through the weekend of racing at SAAC. I have tried several types of lock washers and the jamb nut over the years and all vibrated loose. The only thing that has worked for me are the lock-nuts with the crimped top (don't remember the name of them). Another thread recommended A-286 bolts but I have not been able to find those.
