That warning was an addition because the 1st few sets didn't go over the top with explaining this importance when fitting them. Someone tightened the pinch bolts before the spindle bolt thinking it was those that held the arm on and snapped one. If you do it in the wrong order and over tighten the pinch before the spindle the same thing can happen with the original redline flights. The warning is pointing out that it's actually the spindle bolt that holds the arm on and the not too much part also mentions the recommended torque for tightening the pinch bolts.

I think repop stuff is great! not everyone can afford £350-400 for og and twin pinch on an old school build look shit!

SDF:
I'm definitely going to buy a couple of sets. Spotted them at MK 16. Got original flites in mint condition, but can't afford originals on all my bikes, hence these are wicked!!!! explosion
