They said they don't carry them for the 2-tons. The machine shop where I work can make em up for me but need to know what the metal grade is of the bolt. Anyone know what that may be? There's nothing stamp or embosed on the news one I got, but on the old bolts there's an "E" on the head, that's it. Could it be grade 5?
Thanks alot!

If you are going to have them made from scratch, tell the shop to use 4140...this would be after you have exhausted a search for a commercially available one.

They can usually get about anything you need, or at least know where to get it. http://www.tacomascrew.com/Jeff | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Try Fastenal. I've used grade 8 bolts & ground the head round.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
