[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 491123, member: 18154"] Good ending to this story………… :D I wouldn’t go with a larger diameter bolt where the center beam terminates at the cross bar. Yes the bolt itself will be stronger, but the web that remains (material around the hole) will be lesser. You leave too narrow a web from the hole to the edge of that channel and it will give……. Where the two bent pieces come together on the center beam would be a good candidate for bigger bolts. [/QUOTE]
