BOLTS, NUTS, TORQUE, LOCTITE, and Related INFO
REFERENCE & LINKS
PAGE
Here are some additional reference pages and some online links for more details or reference materials. The page I put up barely touches on the science surrounding bolts, selection, specifications, locking materials, and so forth. The links here are a sampling of some good starter information for the visitor that wants more detailed information and/or additional information.
Each will open in a new browser window for convenience.
