Briliant idea Dick...I have to admit that I had considered that at one time, but having no experience with the product, and hence, little confidence in it, I imagined that it would fail when placed under stress, ...as when tightening the nut. Thanks to you focusing my attention to the details, I realize now that even if the JB Weld bond failed...the bolt and nut is still in place and the strut is still quite secure...so...this very day I shall go out and purchase a quantity of this seemingly well respected goo, and the test will be under way. I will be careful to avoid getting the JB into the allen key socket...just in case the bond ever fails and I need to hold the bolt in order to remove the nut.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays.
