Re: [T3] IRS problem (and I don't mean taxes)

You may have something here ,are we talking about the same bolt ?  the Bolt
is referred to as the diagonal arm Bolt in the Bentley.
It had a big head medium body and small thread at the end.
I have the bolt inplace but only one (home made) washer, I tried to
compensate for this by torquing it up to spec.
