Mike(mmlmm )great point but these bolts are metric as in what the rest of the world uses :poop:

A common misconseption is that 8.8 is a grade 8 standard bolt:cop:

Reagardless of standard to metric.....the point is that the grade of bolt and tensile strenght and the PROPER TQ spec is required!

we dont geuss,we dont change the engineering.....we follow the speks

just a EG:http://www.dansmc.com/torque_chart.htm


FWIW I use a 12.9 bolt to replace any bolt that is metric compared to a grade 8 standard

Good point, I forgot about the metric system, why cant we switch to that, it would be so much easier.
