[DeTomaso] Caliper bolts--when was the last time you checked?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

  Interesting solution.  How does it handle thermal expansion?  Their 
simple product features mentions resistance to loosening due to 
vibration and dynamic loads, but how does hit stand up to heat?  If 
enough thermal expansion takes place it could nullify the unique locking 
feature... but I don't know if that's true.  It would be very 
interesting to try.
