No, I didn't. Hmmm, that might be it - they might have been compromised. I just used a bolt from the replacement axle, so it should have been the same as what was in there. They are a slightly unusua

My guess: Compromised bolts. Solution: Replace 'em with ARP. Buy the right length and turn down the end with the lathe. iii
