Re: tpi bolt problem

next time, punch the bolts through a piece of card board with locations marked on the card board.

Re: tpi bolt problem

If you find yourself with a handful of mixed-length TPI Torx head bolts, there's an easy way to sort them out. The reason the bolts are multiple length is that the runner flange thickness on the runners to intake base varies. Just like a puzzle, with the runners loose on the bench, keep shifting the bolts around until the exact same amount of thread on each bolt is exposed out the backside of the runners. The locations will now be correct.
