Verhoeven rail bolt torque specs.

Ya, years ago I was setting up torque control power tools at a tractor assembly plant and one of the parts was a rubber clamp sandwiched between 2 metal plates, the bolts were something like an M8. The torque spec was for a M8 Grade 10.9 from some bolt chart. Not only could I not reach their torque spec. with my tools, when I got there using a digital torque wrench, the rubber was completely flattened/extruded. Ugly looking assembly.

Suggested to the ME to revisit the spec and get back to me.
I have run across the same over the years. The engineers are not always right. Sometimes they are sitting at a desk and not really familiar with the application.

Sad thing, this is a true story: Two guys were fifty or seventy-five feet apart behind cars having a shootout with pistols, I suspect beer might have been involved. All of a sudden one jumped up holding his hands in the NFL tee sign for a time out. "Time, time, I'm out of bullets!" Rapides parish was the only place I loved Mondays. It was just to hear what happened over the weekend.

Thank you, thank you very much. Dead center Rapides. You've probably been to the Lighthouse a time or two.
