yes, you'd have thought a standard m10 bolt and washer would have been adequate. Jules

Sometimes it just makes you wonder why?
A none standard bolt like that normally costs more!


But it speeds up the build process on the assembly line and as a lot of the work is done by robots it makes it a less fiddly part for them to deal with! Also the reason that most bolts now are torx which can be held more securely in a torx bit as it is offered up to whatever it is being fitted to. thumbsup:
