After reading JV's post, I'm wondering if perhaps I wasn't deceived by the photos, but I thought the bolt was a specially machined part that included the tapered bolt and the standoff spacer as a one piece unit. Is this correct, or is the standoff simply a spacer, tapered on the outside, with a straight hole so that the bolt simply passes through it? That might make more sense, but still, with a shaft diameter of only 10mm, and at that length, it seems rather small for the job. The discoloration on the bottom of the standoff also raises some question as to whether it was really in full contact with the steering arm.
