    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lost one and replaced it with a standard grade number from Ace hardware. Also torqued down the rest of them for the first time in years - duh.

Any opinions on keeping that bolt vs replacing it with a grade 7 like the one that fell out? I'm leaning toward replacing, because it's a grade bolt for a reason.

Also anyone know the specs of that bolt? My specialty bolt place is kind of a hike, and I'd like to call ahead to make sure they've got what I need.

Thanks for any info!
 
Most Ace hardwares have grade 8 bolts (SAE), and a good selection of metrics. You should be able to find one there. I think the metric equivalent is stamped 7.5 on the head as far as grade 8 is concerned.

Metric grade 8.8 should be fine (it's similar to a grade 5 SAE bolt).

Metric 10.9 = Suzuki "9" = SAE grade 8
Metric 8.8 = Suzuki "7" - SAE grade 5
Metric 4.6 = Suzuki "4" = SAE grade 1 (no marks on head)

Thanks fellas, and thanks Ed, for the conversion chart, I'll keep a copy of that!

Yeah they didn't have the graded metric at ACE, but I'm pretty sure Fastenal will.

So with no mark, the one I have is a 4.6 and I need an 8.8.
