both those being the correct case...means that a 200% inspection is done (in theory) on part installs...and if one like the manufacture (I don't think they manufacture anything they just bundle products) drops the ball the last line of safety is the installer

nothing I build is assembled once, from sheet metal to brakes I scrutinize the product and parts during assembly, take pictures and look for ways to make better if possible, its my ass in the sling or dead if there's a failure...and DUDE I'm having to much fun to die ......

I assemble parts loosely, looking for binds in bolts in case i have to chase threads, and also if a bolt is too long I mark them with a sharpy and disassemble and cut them down, it makes the assembly cleaner and safer to work around, and then I use a paint pen to mark then bolts as there tightened
