If the torque on a bolt thru a=20= composite material relaxes over time, it's
more than likely that the material has compressed (it doesn't take much at all for the set torque to decrease drastically) and the bolt should be
re-torqued to the originally specified value.


Dan,

I agree.  Unfortunately I don't klnow how to convert nut torque to bolt= head torque when the un-lubricated bolt passes thru aluminum and phenolic.=20=
