I don't mean to sound too critical, but this really sounds pretty difficult
to me. How does this finish get "ground" off. I'm not a mechanical engineer
but I think part of the whole correct torque would be dependent on having
the bolt surface that is "ground" off at right angles to the bolt. Seems
like you would have to chuck up each bolt in a lathe or something. I'm not
too sure I want my dealer attacking the bolts with a rattail file!
