threads have to be very clean. Just be sure to actually do the bolt "torque"
check every year during your annual. Try giving them a turn with a wrench
(Even with the safety wire in place) and hope you never find a broken one. I
have once and it turned pretty quickly! You have plenty of grip if you can
put your finger tip pad in the bushing hole and feel the bolt end. Proper is
a thread or two protruding, but even a thread or two short (which happens
using normal AN's) where you can feel the end of the bolts is fine.
Cheers,
Wayne

I threaded them about 1/4" so that they wouldn't bottom on the threads in
order to get as much thread grip as possible.
