Go Sabres!!The manufacturer is a Montreal Canadiens hocky fan.
Metric bolts usually have a number on them specifying tensile strength in KPa. Are they aluminum? That may be a whole different animal.Definitely 010.
Ohhhhhhhh... ya know.... 010 may be 10mm, because it is indeed a 10mm head.
As far as Grade 2... it's metric. M8 bolt. As far as I know metric doesn't follow the little line/notch system.
Another pic:
I was thinking the same thing. The metric bolts CAT uses are mostly 10.9 which equals grade-8. But “010” makes Little sense. I would have guessed it was same as grade 6. But my wife says I guess too much! lolMetric bolts usually have a number on them specifying tensile strength in KPa. Are they aluminum? That may be a whole different animal.
To my eye they are hot-dipped galvanized steel, but I'll admit I'm not exactly a metallurgy expert. Once it STOPS RAINING I'll go stick a magnet on them, should answer the question pretty quickly.Metric bolts usually have a number on them specifying tensile strength in KPa. Are they aluminum?

For anyone who has not had the pleasure of reusing these cargo tiedown bolts, be forewarned.To my eye they are hot-dipped galvanized steel, but I'll admit I'm not exactly a metallurgy expert. Once it STOPS RAINING I'll go stick a magnet on them, should answer the question pretty quickly.
I'm tempted to give these Cold Heading people a call, though I'm sure the answer will be something along the lines of "F' off unless you want to buy thousands of bolts". Maybe I'll just send an email and see where it goes.
