Fletch!
I've always wondered why some applications used fine threads when a course thread would hold up much better,(ie. under a vehicle body where the salt and crap get to it!!). My Volvo has all course stuff and it's great to do work on,... I never shear a bolt. But doing my WC 52 bumper was nothing but fine threaded bolts that would shear just looking at them if it wasn't for heat.
Strength over convenience. Those Dodge/Army designer folks were no dummys!
Thank-you for your .02 !!
Peter
