From: "PatrickW" Does anyone know the correct torque value for the AN365-820 fiber lock nuts on the 1/2" Grade 8 bolts on the Main Gear Attachment bracket 6B11-4...? AC43.13-1B gives values on page 7-9, however I believe these values are for "metal against metal". In the case of the Main Gear Attachment, we have "Metal against Rubber". What have other builders done...? - Pat PS - The drawings specify that these nuts can be used, and the farm boy in me thinks that the fiber nut is better than the castle nut because a bolt WITHOUT a hole in it is going to be stronger than a bolt WITH a hole in it. But the torque question is still valid in any case. -------- Patrick 601XL/Corvair N63PZ (reserved) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=217855#217855 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith601-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith601-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith601-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith601-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
