Bruce Tuncks Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Take for example the 5mm . . countersunk-head machine screws which hold down the Libelle seat-pan. There are about 20 of them, each with a cup washer. I bought a set from a fastener warehouse place . They worked just fine and so what if one or 2 failed ? Even if they all failed, there would be no good reason to crash. The alternative would have been to buy stuff from Europe at hundreds of times the cost. And in 15 years, there were no failures of these screws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippydiesel Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) It seems to me that using "off the shelf" fasteners in non structural applications can have little, if any, additional risk. A smidgeon of common sense will guide most people in this sot of scenario. I agree with Bruce on this.
