I think these are 'use once and throw away' bolts. I could be wrong, but I am sure I read somewhere that they stretch when you torque them down and must be discarded when removed. Sure someone here can confirm.

Maybe someone refitted them as I have not heard of them coming loose before.
I would buy a new set and replace them all unless you know for certain that they were not all refitted.

Long story short..I lived in Texas, and was in on the ground floor of the Texas Greaseslingers....
I like the avatar, and haven't found anything I like to replace it with.

They are M12 x 35, 1.5 pitch. Check the material grade though -- not sure if they are normal 8.8 or something harder.

Thanks! Will check.
May just swing by the local dealer, and pick some up.

And so it shall be...

It has been shortened -- and this is my gripe about having an avatar < 48K... ROFL.

We can shorten it to just beer wrenchers of america.
