I've noticed that on the Tiger and Alpine bolts you will often find a marking "AUTO" and underneath some letters or numbers. I've seen the letter "T", "S" and "R" and the numbers "55". What do these signify? Tiger, Sunbeam, Rapier and the former federal speed limit or?

According to a STOA Tech Tip dated Oct 75

R = body bolt similar to grade 5

S = tempered bolt ( use grade 5 except at critical fastening areas)

T = alloy bolt (use grade 8)

There is no exact parallel between SAE and Unified bolt so this is only a guide. I have no idea about "55".

Quick Release Seat Fastener Pins

Found them in Jeg's latest free catalog, on page 170V (800-345-4545)

They show both the Moroso brand, and their own label . As I recall (please measure) they were 5/16 diameter and about 2" long (vs the 1" next smallest).

These Quick Release Pins are rated at 12,160 lbs. shear load capability, and come with a nice "T" handle, ring (for mounting that "Remove Before Flight" flag), the release button and the retracting balls.

The Jeg's number is 550-40440 and are $7.99 each. The identical appearing Moroso (any bets?) is 710-980400 for 1" and 710-90404 for 3", at $21.99/PAIR and $30.99/PAIR, respectively. Don't list a 2", but I am sure they make one. Same load capacity.

Now if anyone is going to exceed 24,320 lbs. shear/seat - don't use them. In fact, don't get in the Tiger, the tires won't take it. {9->
