Hi Andy Oz, I agree with what you have said about the bolts; you could use them successfully with nyloc nuts....but wherever possible here we encourage originality if a member is restoring a machine. Plus the fact that not everybody would trot down to Bunnings and buy 3 bolts the correct size and length and nylocs to suit....many would just dig around in the shed and see what they come up with.....and then we could have a balance problem.....plus where a member mentions cracking in alloy....we would normally recommend replacement.
Andy, sometimes it's hard to give advice here...especially when you can't physically see what your looking at....and pics don't always tell the whole story....but we do support best workshop practice.
Thanks mate for your comment.
