Torque Delrin Block Bolts?
I'm actually not sure it's made of Delrin, but I've noticed that for the white colored plastic blocks that are for support of things like the flap weldment supports, if I actually torque the bolts to a normal spec it tends to deform/squish the blocks. The black blocks seem a lot harder. Should...
