Lightning.

The set I got from Lightning actually had 2 bolts that were
the same size. Bastards.. I ended up having to cut one of them
with a dremel.

They basically sent me two of the left side sliders...

Anyway, I put them on and torqued the crap out of them.
So far no problems. Put some non-permanent threadlocker on
'em just in case.

How did those Dennis Kirk frame sliders work out for you? Any pics? Are they long like the Lightning sliders or less obtrusive?

Like, Random, I too have Lightning frame sliders and think a great deal of them. Yes, they _are_ a bit long, but I've found that to come-in handy on occasion, when extending-and-resting a leg to relieve a muscle cramp. https://www.superhawkforum.com/image...on_biggrin.gif
