Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the drilled shank feature important for karting?
A: The drilled shank allows you to pass a safety pin through the bolt after installation. This provides a mechanical lock that prevents the screw from vibrating loose due to track bumps and high-frequency engine vibrations, ensuring your bodywork stays secure during a race.
Q: What does the 8mm x 1.25 specification mean?
A: This refers to the metric thread size. The 8mm is the diameter of the bolt, and the 1.25 is the thread pitch (the distance between threads in millimeters). This is a standard coarse thread size commonly used in kart chassis and bodywork components.
Q: Can I use this screw for applications other than bodywork?
A: While designed for bodywork, the flat head design is ideal for any application where you need a flush, aerodynamic surface. Always ensure the 70mm length is appropriate for your specific mounting point to avoid interference with internal components.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this fastener?
A: You will need a standard hex key (Allen wrench) that matches the flat head cap screw drive size. Once tightened, simply insert the included round safety pin through the hole in the shank to lock it in place.
