The Home Depots and Lowes in the Tampa area do NOT carry grade 5 either in Galvanized or Stainless. If you live in a fairly large city, check the big specialty houses that carry just fasteners, screw

Stainless is best for things like shackles, nuts, washers and lockwashers. Hot dipped galvanized hardware lasts a very long time. Electroplated hardware (zinc) must be painted to avoid rust. Avoid st

I have had great success using "never seize" on the threads of stainless U-bolts at K3LR. I am able to tighten them without problem. There are also several different types/strengths of stainless mate

Thanks for the tip. Also, I have found that the SS hardware sold for sailboat owners seems superior to that made for other markets. But, it is quite expensive. Keith NM5G I have had great success usi

hoy all, Avoid stainless steel bolt/nut combination......... Not only bolt/nut, dont use them on steel towers , unless the tower itself is made of stainless steel. cubical dilation might be that diff

John, They can be found at Ace Hardware, Home Depot and "specialty fastener" stores. They are not cheap, however, by using them you will sleep soundly at night. I purchased nine grade 5 bolts, nuts a

If you are concerned about strength, you might want to consider GRADE 8 bolts, which are much stronger than the 'normal' grade 5. Both ACE and HD have these in stock. . . . Gene, W&Oslash;QFC Spring

However Grade 8 doesn't have the same properties as Grade 5, it is much more brittle for example. I've used stainless with no noticeable trouble, and I've used galvanized (though they were longer si

I've also heard the argument that grade 8's are more brittle than grade 5's and that's why you shouldn't use them. Well, first you need to understand what the term "brittle" really means. Brittleness
