In 9 years I've never specified a bolt of higher grade than 8.8, and I've done some pretty big steel frame structures :grin:
Without going too far off topic what do you do? Few years ago I took on a summer job in a steel fabrication plant as a cad monkey - turned into a summer + a whole year job :laugh: Loved it! We only used 8.8 grade bolts too, if it needed to be stronger you just used bigger bolts or more of them :grin:

Along the same lines

 MK1 4 stud  to 5 Stud , a matter of bolting on suitable hubs ? or much harder work ?

u talkin about going 4x100 -> 5x100? im guessing its for fitting late dub or even audi wheels? if so then the bore will be the same so it wouldnt be too hard.

id go down the adaptor route again tho..... a 4x100 - 5x100 adaptor is readily available, and as tropher so expertly put it, they are uber safe!!!


there is 1 limiting thing with adaptors tho, and thats the change in wheel offset, as i said the narrowest they do them in is 20mm, so that will lower your offset 20mm, pushing the wheel further out of the arch

thats all well and good if u have a porsche or merc wheels with a 50 or 60mm offset, but if your sticking with dub wheels then a 20mm adaptor would result in an offset down at about 18, you then run the risk of the wheels sticking out from under your arches too much, mr MOT man and mr police man dont like that  :tongue:
