Hey y'all, what kind of bolts do you use for your spikes/dogs ?
Obviously my Stihls have the obligatory Torx heads.
I'm putting some spikes on some Macs that I have, and wondering if I can get away with straight-slots, or better yet hex, or if I should go find some Torx head ones so they look more authentic.
Of course Torx is great, but those bolt heads always tend to fill up with pitch/gunk too.
Since the inner spike threads into the oil tank/case - do you use lock washers or just threadlocker on them? (loc-tite or permatex - assuming blue at the most) Or both...
