Somebody must have done this...If I take my boulderbars off to paint them, will I have any problems with those self tapping bolts when I put them back on? There's not a whole lot of contact area where some of them mount and if I lose that thread, I'm thinking I may be SOL? |

Mine haven't moved in the two months I've had the OEM's off. You should be fine. |

As long as you start the bolts back in by hand so that you can tell if they are cross-threading or not you should be fine. moose wrote: Mine haven't moved in the two months I've had the OEM's off. You should be fine.
Are you talking about the nut-serts for the bolts? The BoulderBars don't use those, instead they come with self-tapping bolts. You drill a slightly smaller hole (which is why people always ask where to find an 'F' drill bit) and as you turn the bolts into the holes they create their own threading. I think Dave is just concerned about possibly stripping threads when he re-installs them. |

Oop, my bad. He was talking about having the OEM bars off and I didn't bother to read his sig area. |
