Any one have an opinion on using grade 8 studs and nuts in place of the bolt for the C-Caps on radius arms?
What bout where to find Grade 8 9/16x12 bolts that are threaded the whole way the length of the original bolts? I have searched and searched online for them and no one has one in Grade 8. Apparently the stocks are grade 5 from what come off of them.
Any one have some idea that is working for them otherwise?
 
I had read a thread or two on pbb about broken bolts, so I replaced the factory bolts with some new grade 8 ones on my rig when I built it.
 
I can't remember. I am using the radius arms on a D60, and had to make some 1/2" spacers to use between the arm and cap, so I needed slightly longer bolts.
 
i was lucky enough that my stock ones went back in. they have been off and on a few times. not fun at all.
wilders nuts and bolts may have what your looking for however 9/16's isn't a very common size. I know that fastenal has them, but they were only sold in bulk. Not what you want to hear when your buying grade 8 cause it will add up quickly.
