Well dang Eddy! Reckon I should've waited to get those spacers. I can still use them on the front when I put the SR axle in if the width difference is noticeable to me. Knowing that the spare mount can handle the weight, I'll do as you suggest.

To other news... hit my first snag. Got the wrong bolts from Fastenal. Guy I talked to ordered what I asked for, 12x1.75. My mistake. Should've been 12x1.25. DOH <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> This may put me off till next weekend unless I can get some tomorrow. Not likely, since Grainger and Fastenal are closed on weekends. I have some bolts here that are the right size, but they're 8.8 instead of 10.9 (metric equivalent of grade's 5 & 8, respectively) You guys think these will work? The tensile strength is 120,350 psi for 8.8 and ~150,000 for 10.9. For what I'm using it for, I can't see getting to 120,000 psi. Am I thinking correctly?


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
