So what did you do Tig?
Remember if you replace the bolt to check grade. SS bolts are only grade 5 You can get chrome grade 8 bolts which end up being what they call 8.8 grade. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Basically correct, in terms of the yield/tensile strength they're pretty close to SAE grade 5. Stainless bolts don't carry a grade/class designation, though they are covered by various (confusing) specifications. The commonly available stuff is 18-8 stainless, and min. properties/dimensions are specified by ASME B18.2.1 Quote:
'8.8' is a metric class designation which is roughly equivalent to SAE grade 5 fasteners, and they are available in chrome-plated. Class 10.9 are roughly equivalent to SAE grade 8, and 12.9 is an even stronger class which doesn't have an equivalent SAE counterpart. (Sorry to geek-out on ya, but I had to chime in since this crap has been my bread & butter for a while... ![]() In that application, I'd use 10.9 - but then I don't think I'd use those adjusters in the first place, since I think they're a poor design (even though they look kinda cool).

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't just rely on the stop bolts to keep it from moving & 'spect that is the biggest contributing factor to the failure.
Why were you running the axle loose (didn't read back thru if it was in the thread)? |

I do more mech Engineering than I do electrical engineering nowadays on the clock. Damn mechanical aspects of the motors and breakers tend to fail first. I have had much more training in that than I have in electrical in the past few years. The aluminum is what I would be worried about more than the stainless steel bolts. No telling what Gilles actually sends out, but I don't think they go with the most stout bolts they can find. I doubt he needs safety related bolts for it though.

![]() In all honesty it's a bad habit that I've gotten into since I got this Gilles axle nut. My torque wrench is in the tool chest now anyway. |

Thanks Kerry. Tell me though... if they chrome the grade 8 bolt (which my hardware store carries) does it add to the tensile strength?
