foxyj75 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) WOOOO HOOOOO!!! Just recieved a steel swap from Tim T, Opened it, and like a kid on Christmas morning, could'nt decide what to bend first! Since my next goal was to bend a 6'' G5, I selected a JH branded black G5 bolt to attempt. I wrapped it up, and tried to reverse bend it into submission....and it did'nt move! So, I took a breath, cleared my head, tensed my body up, and went for a second attempt, this time full force.....and it moved! So in about 5 hits, I managed to get it to where it is in the pics. Although I don't have a protractor handy, it's obviously past 40 degrees, as you can see in the pics. later! GOD BLESS, :rock Foxman G5 bolt measurment bent G5 head of bolt-----JH G5 Edited November 17, 2007 by Foxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Super nice job! Man you are off to one heck of a start and those aren't the easiest G5s either. They calibrated at 400 lbs. Nice. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Nice bend, Foxman! In the picture they look like the "green" ones I calibrated for Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Nice bend, Foxman!In the picture they look like the "green" ones I calibrated for Tim. Eric, after looking at them again, they are indeed green. I guess I am somewhat colorblind! lol Anyways, thanks for the comment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Ha Ha! I thought that too. It's medically proven though I have a red and green deficiency. Right you are Eric, they are the ones I sent to you that hit the 400 lbs mark. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyj75 Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Thanks guys!! I actually attempted a 6'' G8 also, and got it to about 10 degrees; but I was spent from the G5. I am gonna rest up for a few, and then go for the G8!!! Later!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxyj75 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks for the encouragement guys! Man, when that G8 moved, I could see the fear in it's eyes! lol! I know where it lives, and it owes me money........... GOD BLESS, Foxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 If that had been an "average" G8 you'd have gotten it. That was one of those crazy ones that calibrated at 490 to 495 lbs as opposed to 460 to 465. They're made by the same company that makes the L9 (grade 9) fastening system and evidently their using the same lamalloy alloy for some of their G8 bolts now. Nice job.
