Charlie,
I understand & I'm really only interested in the shear strength of 
the bolt itself. When I was in 1 land I wasn't as critical about 
hardware as I've learned to be here in 4 land (Southwest Coastal 
Florida). I learned rather quickly that the rain down here is just about 
like battery acid!!!! When I first moved here a year ago I was unable to 
keep my 1940 Ford Hot Rod inside for about 6 months & you would have 
thought it was stored in a salt bin by the time I made room in the 
garage for it!!! Between the rain rusting everything in sight and the 
sun trying to kill my $10K paint job, it was a painful learning curve. 
When I was in Ct. these problems never plagued me, but down here it 
seems to be another story.

See my other reply. Say you are using a grade dh carbon steel nut, they are up 
at 175k, a standard grade 8 nut is 150k. That is above the A286. Like I said, 
just be careful
