Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 1526338, member: 103"] Well, my point being, I had originally intended to make the change over at the rag joint myself, but after taking it apart saw that the rivets were "stepped", such that they have a shoulder in the shank that bears the tension of the clamp load instead of placing it on the flexible rubber joint. With a non shouldered bolt you will be sandwiching the rubber bushing in the clamp and not be able to truly tighten things up. I was wondering if you solved this with a shouldered bolt, or a rivet or what. On Edit: I see the picture now. You smashed the rubber and as it relaxes the bolt tension will continue to drop. The parts are not actually tight like that unless I'm seeing it wrong. There should be a shoulder that passes through the rubber with a smaller threaded section that then passes through the coupler past the rubber. That way the coupler is tightened metal, to metal. I will look for a shouldered bolt of the right size and shoulder length. [/QUOTE]
