The difference will be in the 'standards' for the bolt threads..... Front ones are Metric, so have a European Tollerance, rear ones are Imperial thread, so will have either a BS or American tollerance.
(not saying it makes sense, but perhaps explaining the wider 'window')

Simon_P wrote:Well it wouldn't because lb and kgf are units of weight and lbf and N are units of force.
kgf (Kilograms force) is a non-SI metric unit - since the kg is a unit of mass, the force due to gravity is 1kgf (= 9.80665 N if you want it quoted in SI units) ... much like the force of a 1lb weight exerts 1lbf.lotusflasherman wrote:On a final note ... out of interest what is the 'f' in 'kgf' for, for f* sake? - or am I being too pedantic..
