What would you use and why?
Had a 42mm lying around but it was suggested that a 36 would be better.

Berg 36mm forged.
Plenty strong and you can use a torque multiplier to torque it to spec.

Berg when they used to be available,but since Scat came out with a 36mm version i have used that alot,even torqued it to 650lbs on a wedgemated engine,seems just a good as the berg but 1/2 the cost

I tested the Scat gland nut just to see what will give up first. Measured the length then torqed to 1000nm - 740lbs. Measured it again, no stretch or any sign of damages. The German crank was also ok. Torqed it again to 1500nm - 1100lbs and again no damages. I gave up but next time I will continue to torque until something give up. It is amazingly easy when you use the torque meister.
