previous post(9-28-19) for offshore dogbone tapers,that spun in shock tapered holes due to be machined slightly undersize and would not hold,to allow tightening of the nuts.I pressed paper against tapered area,to make a pattern of the tapered area.Cut out the pattern,and marked a piece of .002" brass shim stock.I put Gorilla super glue on the tapered area,wrapped the brass shim to the taper,and wrapped it with a rubber band,and let it fully cure for 2 days.Reassembled dogbone to the shock,squeezed it into place with a large pair of adjustable pliers,and marked the end of the stud to see if it would rotate while tightening the nuts.Tightened nuts,and the stud was securely locked into tapered shock bores,and absolutely no rotation of the stud and taper of the dogbone.
