|
Layout and position
|
Specifies whether the bolt is a shop bolt
(Factory Bolt - attached to the steel a parts at the

Length of the mounting space at the bolt
head either as absolute value, for instance as a multiple the specified bolt
length (*xx) or as an addition to the specified bolt
length (+xx).
|
Lower Area Width/Length
