[DeTomaso] starter studs

[Dave McManus]

Well, a bolt w/o a head is a stud.

With a bolt you are twisting & turning a bolt head applies torque on the
aluminum threads. " Any high-torque application with
aluminum requires the use of studs rather than bolts."

I'm not an engineer. Maybe someone can explain the torque and twisting when
tightening a bolt in aluminum threads.

OK.
 If the opinion is not to use bolts. And I can not find correct studs. How
about just using a bolt with the head cut off ?
