good to know...
After bolting it all together no. 1 wouldn't tension, despite me having checked the thread.
So I drilled and tapped for an oversize stud which was also in my "you might need one of those" pot.
I've realised that oversize studs don't seem to have the advantage of tensioning back against the untapped shank.. i.e. they are in danger of screwing right through. I used some silicon loctite copper to stick it in, but I don't imagine that is strong enough. What is the right thing to use there for next time?
