[AT] Bolt Grades

[jahaze at aol.com]

I'd rather use too much bolt than not enough :-)? The old one's had to be cut out, which is why I wasn't able to save them.? I'd like the bolts to out last the truck.

The real sad thing is I haven't had a need for my trailer for amount two months now, I think I'll get the bolts, put the trailer on and just haul it around the town for old times sake (maybe I should buy another tractor to justify the new bolts?).

Thanks again for all your help, we may have beat this one to death, but it's better than working.

Enjoy, Joe

Hi Joe,
         Yes, 3 bars indicates grade 5. I think you are attempting 
"overkill" with the grade 8 you are looking for. If you have your heart set 
on grade 8, use a standard bolt!
         Dave
PS, I'd use standard bolts in any event. As someone stated earlier, you 
will be able to get them off in 5 years w/out a "hot wrench!"
