I think it's just to do with clamping force.
Like I say I'm tight. Ill replace a strectch bolt if the nut is captive.

Can anyone confirm that the 12mm stretch bolts are 10.9 tensile strength, please?Cheers'en, AndyC

No idea what grade rusty but i got a brand new set for my S2 a few weeks ago from the stealers.Comment

I'm also trying to find the correct tightening torque and angle for them. I can find info for the M14 but not on the standard B3 M12 items.Cheers'en, AndyC

I can't tell you the tensile strength for the M12, but the tightening torque is spec'd as 80Nm with a 90 degree turn.Comment

Andy, I've just found another source quoting 80Nm with a 180 degree turn for the M12 bolt. I think I'd favour this, and I would suspect the tensile rating would therefore be 10.9 although I can't confirm this unfortunately.Comment
