Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is a drilled shank important for steering hardware?
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 or over bumpy track sections.
Q: Is this screw compatible with all kart steering hubs?
A: This 6mm x 45mm screw is specifically engineered for Euro-style steering hubs, such as those found on Margay Ignite chassis. Please verify your hub's thread pitch and required length before installation to ensure a proper fit.
Q: Can I use this for applications other than steering?
A: Yes, this is a versatile piece of hardware. While optimized for steering security, it is excellent for any application on your kart that requires a 6mm pinned fastener to prevent loosening.
Q: Should I use thread locker with this screw?
A: While the drilled shank and clip provide primary security, many racers choose to use a light-strength thread locker as an extra precaution against vibration in high-demand steering setups.
