Thanks. I am planning to use high grade 3/8" bolts too. The thing im worrying about is that im using 3 X 1-1/2 X 1/4 (6.0#) channel for everything under the mainbeams. Cross bearers, legs, etc. Thats very heavy. Im wandering if I use an appropriate number of high grade 3/8" bolts that I'll be fine? What do you think?
I was thinking maybe I should use 1/2" but thats seems like overkill to me. 3/8" bolts are pretty big/ strong. Last edited by cvriv.charles; Thu 11 March 2010 at 23:06.. |

3/8 will be fine, but if I do this again(and I will) I will be using all metric bolts. To many things you buy for this, like steppers or the wheels, all use metric bolts. It was a lot of switching back and fourth and it gets to confusing. Dennis By the way I think I have a reservoir you built. DarthBevis gave it to me. |
