[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 292502, member: 468"]They state that the pin 'breaks' when it is set. This is correct that in this instance as the bolt isn't turned to the intentional failure point but is pulled. Essentially these same type bolts are used to shear off when set because those are tightened/rotated to the failure point. My mistake was to assume that yours were Allen head cap bolts. :p[/QUOTE]
