Hi List, there has been some interest in this but not yet enough for an  
economic batch.  I've checked the material specs and they exceed class 8.8  
and certainly exceed the stuff currently available.  I'll be getting an  
original bolt for testing soon.
 
So any more takers for these stainless steel bolts or even Ti ?
 
Regards
 
Daniel

Hi  List,

Don't know about your side of the pond but in the UK the trunnion  bolt's
Iv'e been able to buy are inferior to the original bolts.  I've  usually
discovered this after stripping the thread with a calibrated torque  wrench 
on
the correct size socket.

I've been in contact with a bolt  manufacture who can make a similar bolt in
a high grade of stainless  steel.  The idea being they won't corrode into
the metalastik bushings  and thus have to be hammered and destroyed.

All you engineer types can  be supplied with details of the different grades
of stainless steel on  offer if you want.  However, I'm confident the
stainless bolt will be  far stronger in every respect than the current 
offering
from the usual  suspects.  I also plan to get an original bolt, even a
damaged one so  that it can be tested in comparasion to the current offering
and
the  stainless bolt.

What I need to know is what the level of interest is  for this by number of
bolts so I can get a feel for the volume and thus  price.  I also need to
know if you'd be willing to pay an extra #1 for  the superior grade of
stainless  and whether you want to probably save  #2 by not having the hole 
for
the
split  pin on account of using a  nylock rather than castellated nut.  Final
price  will be more  than what I've been paying over here (I think I paid 
#6+
a   bolt.

E-mail me off list with your full name and any comment you  might  have.

Regards

Daniel
