Is this a new thing now? I got a sheet here that says i 'HAVE' to countersink the big end caps by 1mm prior to fitting the bolts.
What a load of gay that is!

surely this is standard practice with any hi-tensile bolt application, unless the drilling has enough clearance to allow the bolt head to get full face contact away from the head/shank radius? All bolts will have some radius where head and shank meet?

yeah, but when its countersunk, it leaves a tapered top, and i can't see that giving full face contact for the underside of the bolt?!

Here's mine.
I'll just drop the rods off to my mate tomorrow, sort him out a tenner and he can do it, if he fucks it up, then its down to him![Pthbbbb](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile045.gif)

You only really take the corner off the radius on the arp bolts is only quite small but as allready mentioned if you dont do it the 2 faces will not come together properly
