cuz the pitch determines its holding power (pull-out strength? not sure of the correct terminology)

I would imagine this is an area that undergoes alot of brute force <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


Ditto...lot of stresses and vibration going on there and tighter pitch on the threads means more ability to hold (given that all else is equal, of course).

Tag, I'll be doing the UCA mod next week. I considered using the bolts you suggested from Fastenal, until I saw the difference in pitch than the stock bolts. The stock bolts have a much greater holding strength than the bolts you went with, so I decided to order UCA bolts/nuts for a Gen II.

Will let you know how it goes.
