Well, I assembled it with the parts mentioned in the original post.
I used WKTaylor's quoted 100-140 in/lb for dry parts, and added the turning torque. The turning torque was about 40 in/lb with new bolts and nuts,(and maybe 20 with used ones). The hardware is all new. The loctite as lubricant...
Looking into those now, Thanks.
Yeah. I really don't like the idea of changing the design.
I'll probably try it since I have the extras.

I wanted to rivet it and still do. I have found it...
Yes, steel rivets.

Thanks for responding! Yes, I did and that was one of several conflicting answers I came up with before posting. Since this is aircraft hardware, rather than grade 8, I thought people would be more familiar with it here. If this thread doesn't go anywhere, I'll try over in Mechanical...
Hi, I am John, and I am new here. I have a shear bolt question.
I am using this hardware to bolt an automotive differential ring gear on (this will not fly), I just want to get the best from the hardware. The gear is hardened steel, and the flange it bolts to is something a bit softer, probably...
