Suspect bolts and hangers
|
Inspired by this thread about a bolt that pulled out after just 15 years I thought it'd be helpful to share photos of suspect bolts/hangers and explanations of what we should be looking for. Of course it's not always obvious so please educate us. |

Great idea Legion. I've seen old rusty and bent over hangers and bolts before (often no other choice than to use them....), but the really scary ones are those we can't tell -and so blindly trust. I guess I'm gonna start giving plated bolts a sharp tug outward, but sometimes I'd probably rather not know.... |

A few 1960 to early 1980 generation bolts/hangers from Eldorado. |
