OK, here goes the bolt strength thread (no pun intended) again.  

On another list there is a heated discussion about using all grade 8 bolts on 
restoring a car.  Can anyone give me a simple explanation as to why it may or 
may not be a good idea to replace grade 5 with grade 8?

Part deux:  What about Bowmalloy bolts, from Bowman?  They are higher 
strength than grade 8, according to Bowman.  Anybody know about these?
