Fasteners

Post by leesellars »

Hello Chaps

Just a bit of advice realy. Do not use BA bolts for structural fastening. These are for decrative use only. Always use the fixings provided in the kit. Or use high tensile fixings.

Hi All

Lee is absolutely right. BA and the American ANC series bolts are almost always very low tensile strength. They should never be use for anything except decorative stuff.
