	Gregger Man · Jul 13, 2015 · Broomfield, CO · Joined Aug 2004 · Points: 1,764 Many thanks to Matt, Mark, Ian, and Shaun for volunteering a full day of work. 20 bolts replaced, 16 of which were cleanly extracted allowing us to reuse the holes. The first two lead bolts on Forbidden Planet and the one bolt on The Cruise will get replaced soon. 0 Flag Quote

	Gregger Man · Jul 13, 2015 · Broomfield, CO · Joined Aug 2004 · Points: 1,764 Old Metolius design from the '80s and an 8mm allen head drop-in bolt. The 8mm drop-in bolt is scary short. We couldn't find a way to re-use the Forbidden Planet stamped washers. 0 Flag Quote

	Gregger Man · Jul 18, 2015 · Broomfield, CO · Joined Aug 2004 · Points: 1,764 I finished up Forbidden Planet but ran out of 2.75" bolts and couldn't get to The Cruise. We'll order more. Donate to ACE if you'd like to help out with this effort. Many more manky bolts to go. This is what the last two bolts looked like after 28 years: Bolt from 1987 removed in 2015. It pulled out under about a 50 lb load. 0 Flag Quote
