Since Toby Peterson is out of the hardware business now isn't this a moot point? Based on 20,000 mile condition of my factory original 10.9's would suspect that mere 12.9's would probably be fine as long as they're changed periodically, I'm the fellow who stated Toby's bolts seem light BTW. And they do, even without the benefit of crack. Since Walt has samples of each he could weigh them (and perhaps a base model 10.9) to settle question quickly...
