Correct. And AN bolts also have a large radius under the hex head that fits
into a large chamfer on matching AN washers. Be very sure that whatever washer
you use has such a chamfer, or make one in the yoke adapter. Tightening AN
bolts without a chamfer will either rapidly fail the bolt, or if you're very
lucky, will beat itself some clearance and cause hard-to-trace vibration. Good
luck- J DeRyke
