Re: Trailing Arm Bolts

Jim,

 3 lines on the head so it would be DIN 8.8.  All the automotive suppliers
seem to use the Grade 8 terminology and I admit I've never bothered to cross
check it.  Shamefull really as I am an Airframe Fitter by trade !!!

PS: My Email bounced the response direct to your address ?l

Paul,

Are you referring to DIN Class 8.8 or SAE Grade 8 (with six radial lines on
the
head)? The SAE grade 8 is equivalent in strength to Class 12.9, the SAE
Grade 5
(three radial lines) is equivalent in strength to the Class 8.8 bolts . . .
and
also the AN airframe bolts.
