[Tigers] Caliper bolts to stainless Grade 8

[Gary M. Gere]

-Hello,

Grade "8" fasteners must have yield strength of 120,000 PSI and a 
tensile strength of 150,000 PSI.
Grade "5" fasteners are 90,000/120,000.

There are two places I use to purchase quality stainless steel fasteners.

The first is: http://www.arp-bolts.com

ARP manufactures very high quality made in the USA fasteners (both 
chrome-moly and stainless steel). Their high strength "Stainless 300" 
has a yield strength of 140,000 psi and a tensile strength of 
170,000-190,000 PSI. Their catalog contains a very good primer on 
fastener material specifications. They sell fasteners in "bulk" packages 
as well as for specific applications, and you can find their products on 
popular web sites such as http://summitracing.com or http://jegs.com

If you do not find what you are looking for there, as someone else 
mentioned, try: http://www.totallystainless.com

Totally Stainless sources much of their product from ARP (made in the 
USA) and provide stainless fasteners that are "grade 8" or better (17-4 
PH stainless has 110,000 PSI yield and 140,000 PSI tensile strength) in 
sizes and thread pitches that ARP does not sell directly.

I have used products from both sources for many years and have never had 
a fastener failure. In fact I just purchased a set of high strength 
stainless steel u-bolts from Totally Stainless for my 1967 Tiger. They 
are awesome.

Good luck,
-Gary Gere
