Are there different grades of metric bolts? I need longer spindle bolts, and I want the right strength bolt.

QUOTE (35th_Anniversary_AS_Camaro_SS @ Jan 13 2005, 11:09 PM) QUOTE (robz71lm7 @ Jan 13 2005, 06:28 PM) So should I be afraid that home depot (hillman brand) grade 8 bolts hold in my lap belts? Thing I would be worried about from Home depot is source of said bolts. Chinese steel = crap Also, if you can find them, "rolled" threads are much preferred over your normal cut threads. Grade X is just specifying the ultimate strangth of the bolt. I thought as long as they met specs they would've been ok, guess I'll switch bolts. I am aware of proper preload however and put them on with loctite and used the torque chart for lubed grade 8 fasteners with the same dia and pitch. Loctite has the same effect as a light oil on torque values correct? Thanks. |
