BOSS BAX18717-03 – 8 Foot 2 Inch V XT Stainless Steel Strap Bolt
Experience industry-leading strength, precision, and reliability with the BOSS BAX18717-03 8 Foot 2 Inch V XT Stainless Steel Strap Bolt — expertly engineered to deliver superior fastening performance in the most demanding environments. These strap bolts are used in the structural assembly of the plow (for example wing extensions or V-blade strapping) to hold components in place under the heavy load of snow-plowing operations.
-
When doing maintenance or rebuilding your BOSS V-blade system (for instance the DXT series), ensure you check strap bolts like the BAX series for wear, corrosion, or stretching.
-
Match the correct part number for your width/model (e.g., 8′2″ vs 9′2″) so that the strap length, bolt spacing, and material are correct.
-
Because the part is stainless steel and designed for heavy-duty snowplow use, you’ll want to use proper torque, locking hardware (e.g., lock-nuts or thread-locking compound) to prevent loosening under vibration/shock.
Main Features
- Stainless steel construction – Because BOSS manufactures stainless-steel plows (such as the DXT stainless models) for corrosion resistance in harsh winter/salt-spray environments. Using SS hardware ensures the strap bolts won’t rust prematurely and are compatible with the stainless components of the plow system.
- Correct sizing and model compatibility – The “8′2″ V DXT” designation means the strap bolt is matched to 8′-2″ width V-blade DXT models. Installing the correct part avoids mismatches or stress points in your plow assembly.
- OEM parts = reliability – Since the part is OEM factory direct for BOSS plows, you’re getting a part engineered for that system rather than generic hardware that may not meet the stress/tolerance/corrosion criteria.
