Mike Self Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Two words to go with your gold: torque and Locktite. Otherwise, no matter how pretty they are, they're gonna fall out and/or snap. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Marty Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Use blue there you'll probably have to disassemble it at sometime and the socket heads are easy to round off when you break them loose with just the blue red would be overkill there.

Son of Marty Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 In that general area it depends on the year and model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbmb02 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Suggest you do a ‘stress test’ on those bolts before installing them (such as, torque them to and beyond spec). I’ve seen instances where 10.9+ hardware is more prone to hydrogen embrittlement ... that makes them weak, and they break. -KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those babies will work just fine. Look great too. I believe that clamp lives at the top of the dip-stick tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscaptura1 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'd say silver & blue (to go with the gold), It's the color of the sky I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
