Ebox bolts mod

[Sparkplug]

Saw n another thread people recommending new screws to someone. The screws suck. They strip and give no feel of torque. I decided to use bolts. Galvanized works fine in the salt for me. The corrosion doesn't even much matter if there was any because it threads into plastic. This mod cost me about $1.25 to do. I can now torque my bolts all to an even torque, to pull evenly on the gasket. And much tighter without fear of stripping. I have had issues in the past with leaking ebox and ever since this mod invent had a single drop of water get in.

Edit; techically it is still a screw, with a hex head. Much better IMO

Looks good - I know some guys run hex bolts also

I use a impact screwdriver to get mine in and out. Sropped stripping them since I did that. I like the hex idea too. Wonder if mcmaster has them in stainless.
