Suggestion to teams using Aluminum Extrusions-- use locktite.

When connecting these together with the connecting brackets, use low/medium locktite to keep the bolts from coming off. We had major problems last year with our frame getting lose because we figured it would stay. But the vibrations and pushing around eventually loosen these bolts.

When we got to florida, the quick fix was to just glue gun the heads of all the bolts. That was a crude solution, that although did work, had to be checked constantly.
