[QUOTE="Bub, post: 1444270, member: 97827"] That's true. Stronger stainless bolts exist but they're not on the usual shelf. We used 17-4 PH (precipitation hardened) stainless bolts in the pulp mill for certain applications. In hindsight I should have liberated a selection. As a side note, never use titanium bolts for a shear load. I once had some pretty TI socket head bolts and I used them on the sprocket hub on my old Ducati 900ss. Saving weight under the suspension, I was so smart. Once around the block and they all snapped. Doh! [/QUOTE]
