[QUOTE="RiderCoach Lar, post: 1154079, member: 2643"] Gotta agree with all who've posted that using anything other than nylon screws is a monumentally BAD idea :nono: . Being hurled into a piece of sheered polycarbonate plastic can cause a LOT of unnecessary bodily damage. When installed and torqued correctly, the chance of failure is tiny. You CAN over tighten a nylon screw before you strip it. The result is usually what happened to the OP. My suggestion is: shop around for a better price on OEM screws...or ask your local stealer for a break (pun partially intended [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/coolsmiley02.gif[/IMG]) then make sure you properly torque. Don't recall the spec but it's inch pounds, not foot pounds. [/QUOTE]
