I have thrown away my ideas to use stainless steel for mounting my sway bar end-links. Bad Idea. That's why we have the list I guess.

Re: Sway bar mounting bolts (score: 1): Author: miq@teleport.com; Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 10:09:30 -0700 (PDT); Actually, Grade 8 tends to shear with a clean snap at it s limit, where as Grade 5 will stretch first.

Stainless steel is weak compared to grade 5 or Grade 8 fasteners. It also has a tendency to gall if i; /html/spridgets/1998-09/msg00949.html (8,941 bytes)

Re: Sway bar mounting bolts (score: 1): Author: Ulix Goettsch <ulix@u.washington.edu>; Date: Thu, 24 Sep 1998 09:41:00 -0700 (PDT); almost everything on the Spridget is either 1/4 fine or 3/8 fine. The sway bar bolts are 3/8 fine. If your car has never had a bar mounted, you need to chase the threads with a tap. Paint and crud f; /html/spridgets/1998-09/msg00988.html (9,910 bytes)

The correct bolts to hang the sway bar from the frame are: 5/16"-24 (fine thread) You'll need four of them w/lock washers. Thanks Alan. Regard; /html/spridgets/1998-09/msg01015.html (9,527 bytes)
