Yeah.
But you'd think they could use decent metal in a stud!

nope......I bought some 1 tonne spring bolts off them and they sheared way before the torque rating
and spring bolts should be done up to the correct torque rating

got it tight with a ratchet then used a torque wrench which had been calibrated recently so it was correct, the wrench spring hadn't started to move towards clicking when it snapped.
When it broke and when I looked at the metal it was a ver porous casting
Replaced it with a NOS U Bolt and that was done up in the same way, no snapping and I re used all but one of the original bolts doing them up to the same torque value.....guess what? None of them snapped either
