Hi all,
On a recent trip to Wales I managed to whack the head off one of the bolts holding my bash plates on, resulting in a lot of fun and games on Saturday to extract the remaining bit of bolt from the chassis (mostly successful
)
So I now want to replace the mild steel bolts that came with the plates with stainless ones that are high-tensile. If I were to look at non-stainless, I'd go for something rated 8.8 IIRC, but waht is the stainless tensile equivalent - I can get something labelled 'A2' and STAINLESS STEEL DIN933
How do these compare, or should I just go with the high-tensile zinc-coated?
Come in, Dr Wildsmith ...![:D :D](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
