Hi Group
Quick note on breaking AN bolts, if the surface the nut is contacting is not perpendicular to the shank of the bolt, it will load sideways and quite easily break. For instance on my tiebar, and flap drive holes I did a poor job of drilling at 90 degrees to the surface. I am sure if I tightened the hardware to maximum rated spec they would break. I used these to compensate for my sins

Note you can get #10 with a maximum correction of 4 degrees and also 5 degrees, the 5 degree is larger. I think I only used the 5 degree on 1 of my tiebar bolts, it needed just a slight bit more ability to correct so I Reduxed with Flox and let set before full tightening.
