SAE Grade-8 bolt snapped @135ft/lbs

You are kidding, right?

You are tightening bolts, which could be fatal if they break "by feel"
? Why wouldnt you consult a torque spec BEFORE you even torque any of
these bolts?

The next question is: What sort of load is on these bolts? If they
survive your torqueing habbits, will they hold up to the load you are
putting on?

Good lord, do the other folks that have to fly near him know he has 0
for a clue?

No I take that back. He is a Darwin Award candidate, they have less
than 0 for a clue.

you please re-post!
