(These bolts are under shear force -and I presume not much tension.) As a more general followup - With these and all nylon locknuts, how many threads need to show after torquing? There are only 2 -2 1/2 on these when these are bottomed out. I've found this to be kind of a pain in several applications where I seem to need an intermediate length bolt. I'd gladly give up one or two pounds overall to have bolts with more than a sixteenth more thread than nut! Or am I missing something?
