RallyRacer...

Back again. I've found an issue I'm not happy with and not sure how to work around. When I measured the anchor bolt length needed, the length turns out to be almost 2mm longer than the longest (39mm) select fit bolt stocked by Ford. My "band gauge" bolt shows that I need 40.7mm @ 5 Nm measuring/operating pressure.

Have you ever run into that? (It's an Alto Redline band.) Do you think the "gauge" bolt is durable enough if I where to simply tighten the locking nut against the case at the called for ft lbs? What would you do?

Thanks...
