Bill and the rest of the "listers",
Another good source of hardware is your local Catapillar Tractor Dealer.
They have a great assortment and it is all high quality. Their bolts are a
grade 8 (except one size that is a grade 12, for some special application
they have). I don't think you can go wrong with these.
