[QUOTE="George, post: 207971, member: 5173"] couple of questions for you guys i bought a new 12.7:1 borgasen steering box and was surprised that the supplied bolts are only grade 5 hex head bolts, looking at my old frame they are carriage bolts. talked to a hardware supplier in town and they don't make a carriage bolt that is a grade 8 till 1/2 inch. as far as i can tell all of the the other steering/suspension hardware is grade 8. am i better of changing this to a hex head grade 8 or just use a grade 5 carriage? i'am using an assembly manual that i bought from a supplier in the states but i cant seem to find the torque spec of the two 1/2 inch bolts that attach the knuckle to the hub assembly, they should be in either section 3 or 9 of the manual, but i cant seem to find it, does anyone know the spec. thanks for all the help, will post more pics of the frame once i am a little further along, Thanks George [/QUOTE]
