Re: Weight Reduction
We've used some fairly large bolts in the past to mount various mechanisms, wheels, etc... A 1/2" bolt is typically overkill in terms of strength, but the diameter has been our requirement. So, we've actually drilled out the center of our larger bolts in order to reduce the weight of this large hardware, and it definitely works.
YMMV, good luck. BEN |
