Subject: RE:Where to get heim rod ends? by SpectatorRacing on 2008/2/8 2:35:58 So your thought is that the compression caused by clamping the red sleeve between the blue knuckle is enough to hold the perpendicular force of the green rod end? Seems like (regardless of tolerance between bolt and sleeve) the sleeve would eventually be slammed with enough shock loading to be in contact with the bolt. While it will surely help distribute the load across the whole bolt instead of point loading it where the rod end contacts it, it's still putting the bolt in shear. And the top attachment is not encapsulated, so I'd wager it's really putting adverse loading on the bolt... |
