[quote=2-piper One further question, strength wise which in your opinion adds the most; a properly fitted Jones, a properly fitted rear lump, or a properly fitted top bolt. I'd be inclined to go with the circle draw fitted rear lump. However, there are so many other factors that this opinion would be very hard to back-up.
From my limited perspective it does not really seem to be as desirable to actually unload the hinge, as much as to simply share its load. Any of these if properly fitted will do so. If the hinge pin is properly/tightly jointed to the hook there will be no way to truly uunload it. So, you are both right and astute in your observation.
