[QUOTE="Welderd, post: 103836, member: 144"] Lastly Be careful when machining AL links. most all the AL that people use is strong enough in bending. But I broke one from shear, the ends were tapered too much and there wasn't enough wall thickness were the threads and tapped hole was. I've also seen a few break similarly from using 1.25" heims not sure what diameter of AL but it wasn't enough. I basically had 1.5" tapped for 7/8" and it took a really good hit right at the end of the heim threads - you couldn't have placed it any better for failure [/QUOTE]
