[QUOTE="jmden, post: 347411, member: 1742"] I think that 7000 series Al (certainly some alloys within this series) may be a different animal that what most of us typically deal with, namely softer, weaker 6000 series Al. In some cases 7071-T6 has a yield strength higher than some titanium alloys, as I recall. And, screw hole bottoms yielding shouldn't be as great of an issue in a rail with a lug...unless I'm interpreting what you mean by 'yielding' incorrectly. The lug should take any load that occurs such that damage to screw hole bottoms shouldn't occur anyway. Am I making sense? Call Glen directly. He often answers the phone. I wouldn't bother emailing and haven't had a great deal of luck with leaving phone messages. Just try him every once in a while or so throughout a workday when you think about it. I usually get through within a day or two doing this. [/QUOTE]
