Just to clarify: That bend was caused by an accident, it wasn't "normal" wear and tear, and I think it's fair to suggest that a "normal" bolt would have broken long before this one was removed. It was an Inconel bolt too. The arms have gone back on with poly bushes from Ed Uding, and Toby TABs. This is the joint that bolt came from: http://rottbott-studios.com/DeLoreanProject/Thumbnails/ChassisAfter/NewTAB3.JPG The chassis has been galvanised and powder-coated by the same people who did the one featured on the Explodaview poster.
