HI,
where I can not mount either hex bolts or Allen bolts,
I use this type of grain,

which however needs a hole on the pin that must stop,
and I do not use threadlocker.

Hello,

For easy maintenance i flatten all my grub screws ( strong fit on the flat surface of the torsion bars ) on the torsion bars.
So if you need maintenance on the torsion bars you can take them out easy trough the copper bushings.

I did this on all my tanks and halftrack

best regards Yves

This may be a little late but I have found that stuck hex head bolts snap much more easily than HT cap head ones.

Hi Adrian

I have found out you can get half head height cap bolts which I may go for instead of hex heads. The main problem is the threaded holes seem to end up facing the hull floor once the axles are installed so there is limited clearance. When the suspension shafts are fully screwed into the suspension arms
and they are installed as per the instructions that's how they end up, to undo them half a turn leaves the assembly loose. Anyway I have spring roll pinned them all now so they are very secure :D

Regards
Gary
