Huck Bolts

Does anyone know what year Foretravel went from Rolox to Huck Bolts to attach the bulkheads?

Thanks.

I believe that the first use of huck bolts began with the 2006 Phenix models which were taller than the previous Foretravel models.  It was the reason for new chassis design.

Here's a photo of a new Realm under construction. It shows how the sidewall is attached to the lower structure.

Probably not as strong as semi monocoque of old, but as good as it gets in this day and age.
