Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the drilled shank important for steering components?
A: The drilled shank allows you to pass a safety clip or cotter pin through the screw after installation. This provides a mechanical lock that prevents the bolt from vibrating loose during high-speed racing, ensuring your steering remains secure.
Q: Is this screw compatible with all kart steering hubs?
A: This 6mm x 40mm screw is specifically designed for Euro-style steering hubs that utilize cross-bolt configurations. The 40mm length is ideal for deeper hub penetrations, but always verify your specific hub's thread pitch and depth requirements before installation.
Q: Can I use this hardware for applications other than steering?
A: Absolutely. While it is a staple for steering hubs, its high-strength design and locking capability make it an excellent choice for any critical connection on your kart where a 6mm pinned fastener is required to prevent loosening.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this?
A: You will need a standard metric hex key (Allen wrench) to tighten the socket head cap screw. Once tightened to the correct torque, simply insert your spring clip or cotter pin through the drilled hole in the shank to lock it in place.
