I have never heard of this procedure nor have I ever heard of anyone having their front end bolts shear off. ----- Original Message ----- From: Conrad Klahn To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 8:31 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: beam q&a Remember to push the new beam towards the rear of the bus before completely tightening it down. This will prevent the bolts from shearing off during a panic stop. Obviously you'll need to make sure the bus is VERY stable when you do this. Take care.
