The bottom bolt will not bend because the band has come together .First iime I have seen this.

A couple of times I have had the same experience. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure that the bolts are tight.

Thanks for the quick come back.I have had 2 large eggs for four years and last year had to have the bands replaced on one unit because of a twist in the band .It seems to be tight but on my other egg you had a half inch gap when the bolt bent to the 25/30 degree angle when you knew that sucker was not going to move.On one occasion I snapped the bolt by cranking a little to much because all of the info said you can't make it to tight.
-
once you have it that tight just run another nut up behind it and it will never move - that's the old mechanics trick called double nutting and it's foolproofRe-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Thank you sir.I hope Stump Baby wont pick up on the double
thing. -
i figured you for just the one nut.
