Barry,
Thank you for your explanation...the torquing values called for for
the 8 mm bolts is listed as 2.5 kg*m / 25 N*m. This reads like Greek
to me, but if I am reading this correctly, it would appear that the
loads are well within the bolt spec and I should have no hesitation to
use the bolts which came w/ my superb (by all appearances) propeller.
Your confirmation would be appreciated.
Fred
