 Also use the best bolts 

you can buy in the mounting of the gear.  At least grade eight bolts. For 

those that haven't changed out the bolts, do it now.  To me this should be a


mandatory thing to do.

 

I'm not sure I understand what it is with the bolts. I have not heard before
that this was an issue.  Is it just with the XL?  What grade bolts come with
the kit? Or came with the kit 10 years ago? I wonder if grade 8 is the right
thing - grade 8 bolts have higher tensile strength, but are also more
brittle.

 

I certainly understand your feelings about the RG, Dave; after what you have
been through.  I can only imagine the nightmare that has been.
