OK Rodger, The second picture was deleted above. Going into edit mode did not provide a path to Advanced mode but I was able to carefully remove the first ATTACH[ ] part of the picture and it worked. I am not a youngster anymore and i have had time to accumulate a few cases where I either over tightened a bolt or did not tighten it enough and now have a healthy respect for a torque wrench. I still have not found the series of comments with Tech1 back around 2006 when I was installing the steering column but he pronounced the through bolt "good" and that was comforting enough for me. Fortunately I do not have any clearance issue with either side of the bolt on the shaft of both U-joints. Over the course of construction of my roadster I also gained a respect for the newer lock nuts compared to the old helical lock washers.
