[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2794150, member: 93138"] There are some who would say to replace the bolt head because it is compromised and may not be as strong. From where I stand they might have a point, but it's a really small reduction in strength, so small as to be lost in the noise, and I wouldn't bother. Only reason to replace it would be if the gall marks bother you or the bolt head is such that a PTG bolt head would be a step up in performance. Definitely shorten the screw. I use a mill or swiss cut file for such precision work. [/QUOTE]
