Joe, With due respect you most of the time disagree with me. So what's new. 
The testing you do or the factory did was for a short time. I'm talking about 
fatigue over time and weather conditions. Constant pulling, stretching, and 
jerking, not just popping the clutch a few times and I pronounce you good, 
lets talk about it over years and maybe one, or two clutches later. Come on, 
You can go have a heart check up tomorrow and every doctor says your OK, then 
drop dead tomorrow. Everybody knows someone this has happened to. I agree, 
with you and relinquish to your time of working on the De Lorean that the 
trailing arm bolt it probably a mute point, But, I think to the folks up 
north who have to worry about salt spray and rusting it's more of a 
pronounced problem. I hope Toby can come up with a reasonable priced bolt to 
help ease the mind of some. But I to have worked on cars all my life also and 
do know a little. The Delorean is a car not a God and a bolt is a bolt. You 
can't test something for a short period of time and pronounce it good. Why do 
you think the military went to a salt spray test and most mechanical parts 
failed in the late 70's and eighty's, they found the conventional testing 
wasn't sufficient? Race car drivers spend $1000.00's and still have a bolt 
failure. Thanks for your comments, I always enjoy the exchange. By the way, 
have you shipped my parts yet.
