Hi folks;
I posted a request quite awhile back, and have forgotten the
names of the special bolts used to bolt the head down on a EA wagon, high
some thing i think. Can any one tell me what they are called.

Thanx

Peter

Torque to Yield (and must be replaced after maximum of 2 uses).

Actually they must be replaced after *every* use.

Once they have been tightened they lose their elasticity, and will not
tension correctly a second time.

Noddy I agree it is preferable to replace them each time and I
always do but the last lot I bought came with a leaflet that it
was safe to reuse them once (twice in total). I guess it may
depend on the quality/brand and therefore the extent that they
can be stretched twice.
