[QUOTE="TooManyToys, post: 1524691, member: 30841"] Both options will increase the clamping force as the larger diameter grabs more aluminum. Bolts always grab the initial threads, in steel it's about 4, aluminum goes longer as the aluminum threads distort more. Helicoils and the other inserts of course allow you to keep the rail through holes the same size, so if in the future you get new boxes you don't have address the rails larger bolt issue. It looks like there is enough meat of the inner posts to go either way. [/QUOTE]
