Hows it going guys I am in the process of final assembly on 4 seat class1 car (best way to describe it) I have been in the process of building this thing for the last 3 years and read to start final assembly this week. I just purchased the proper shank length (grip length) F911 bolts for all the suspension pivots and shock botls along with all the steering as well. The rest of the car will have all Lawson grade 9 bolts for everything else.
My questions as I am not a master fabricator and no formal training but just want to make sure I use the proper specs and techniques during final assembly.
1. What are you guys using for torque specs the suspension bolts are all 3/4" fine thread and the torque specs I have been finding are upwards of 300ft/lbs which seems excessive. Is there a good chart to go off of depending on bolt size and overall length
2. Are you guys seeing better luck with stover or nylock nuts
3. Are you using any type of thread lock, ant seize (on bolt shaft ) etc.
4. Also assuming the best practice is torque from the nut side..
Any other smart ass comments like use a search bar or here we go again are welcome but would prefer constructive comments hahahaha
Thanks Gents
