Pin drive bolts splitting Help Please

Thanks for the dissertation David. Most educational.

What do we do about it? I assume the best thing to do is make the tapers on the new pins you're making, match the hubs. Yes?

First thing is to make sure the tapers match.

Matching tapers don't really matter if you have crappy material. Make sure your nuts are made from good material--otherwise you may loose them.

Wow. Just... wow.

Boy am I glad I sent you the pin with the adapter (snout)!!

Thank you david for the thorough analysis. I'm very certain my car will end up being safer as a result.

BTW it's worth noting that all this is with 1/4 mile TOTAL on the car!!
