what is life of JESUS BOLT

[elwynne]

I have ordered AN10 jesus bolt & was informed by the supplier that these bolts should be replaced every 50 hours. Is this the case? I find it a bit hard to swallow, is he trying to boost his sales? Also is there a life span for TEETER BOLTS?Cheers Elwynne.

what is life of JESUS BOLTFrom wot iv heard, it ended bout 2010 years ago. But rotor bolts should out last you.They are usualy only changed after a bingle, and even then its sumtimes only precautionary.Teeter and rotor bolts are the same.Both are way over engineered and should outlast the machine.

Elwynne where are you getting your bolts? I am after AN10-31 and An 10-41

Thanks Birdy, that"s what I thought the answer was going to be.Murray, I ordered them from SKYSHOP but maybe I should have shopped around a bit more or waited until next week when AIRCRAFT BOLT SUPPLIES re-opens. They had to get them in from USA & a minimum of 10.

Elwynne Consider the abuse of these bolt in determining there lifesuch as flapping and hinging causes more stress than any flying your likely to do

You dont need to worry about it. They all come with a lifetime guarantee.
