moser 12-bolt torque arm fix? how effective would it be if you installed studs and double nutted each stud................yes i know the torque arm will not fit over the studs. i know when we use to rockcrawl. the dana 60 front ends had two threads cut in the housings. and bolts would always loosen or brake off. we (i mean everyone that i know and dont know) knew the only way to fix that problem was with studs
so here it is
line the torque arm up with the threads in the housing
install the studs
hand tighten the studs
install lock washers and loc-tite
and then the nut of course tighten
and then the other nut tighten
and bring out the big bar!
not real user friendly, but with spools and slicks on the streets. they sure do loosen alot. might add 5 minutes to assembly or disassembly.

did you use longer bolts (and not studs) and then two nuts?
that would essentially be the same as a stud and much easier to assemble and disassemble.

I think your idea is viable also.
