What grade bolts to mount seats
I am getting ready to mount new seats in my Studebaker. These are seats from a Chrysler Sebring convertible that have integral 3 point belts. The mounting needs to be able to stand up to g-forces associated with seat belt anchoring. My floor is re-enforced and plenty strong to bolt the seats. Next question is what grade bolts to use. Is grade 5 adequate or should I spring for the grade 8s?
Most of the bolts will be clamping force, but a couple will have side stress.
thanks
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
