Notes:
Torque is not the primary parameter - clamp force is the primary parameter.
Analysis assumes no influence from interaction between fasteners during tightening
No Fall protection kit.
There are no floor "bump" issues with the WS BRIC.
Fastener threaded body at the shear plane is not optimal.
The function of the helical spring washer is not to account for non-parallel surfaces.
