Moose Main Gear

Everyone that is working on or installed the 309's or the 309B's mounting brackets into their Moose should check and MAKE SURE that the thru bolts are 3/8 Dia.
The oridginel bolts were 5/16 Dia. MAM made a change to the size of the bolt because of a seperation of a nut and bolt a few years back.
If you have the 5/16 Dia bolts in, remove them and drill and ream the existing holes out to 3/8 Dia. Replace the 5/16 bolts with 3/8 bolts. You will also have to enlarge the holes in the wrap so you can get the 3/8 bolts in and also to be able to get a socket onto the head of the bolt.
