DESCRIPTION:
Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook A very in-depth dissertation on bolt design, types and applications along with all the hardware and plumbing needed in a race car. Carroll was the master race engineer with decades of experience and knowledge in the sport.. Learn from someone else's experience, it's faster. Admittedly this is a dry subject, but this book should be considered required reading for anyone who is serious about building a safe race car. There's more to fastener technology than most of us realize and a right and wrong way to do things. Mr. Smith gets the information out in an easy to understand format with splashes of well-timed humor. While we have all blamed a poor performance at an event on a broken fastener, Mr. Smith explains how to eliminate these problems, plus your vehicle will be safer. You won't even think about using grade 8 bolts from the discount. "Very useful resource" according to You must provide a name. This a must have resource for people who are not professionals yet would like to figure out how and why race cars are kept together the way the are (or why they are not). While similar books are often written in an - to be kind - ill defined language, this one is in plain English. In fact the author even endeavors to render the subject somewhat entertaining while literally dealing with nuts and bolts.
