[QUOTE="Klunkshift, post: 628812, member: 1789"] Nylon spacers. I know where you are getting to. Bending of the bolts by lack of lateral support. I examined the bolts with my superman X ray vision and still believe (because of the structural configuration of the windshield support) that the fatigue rupture was induced by push and pull (centered load, not bending). If this is true, the material of the spacers would have no influence on the failure mode. I still vote for preventive maintenance of the bolts, with a replacement regardless of state at specific cycles. These are inexpensive parts and I started carrying two spares with my spare parts cache. [/QUOTE]
