Mine are 3/8" Gr-8. The seat belt bolts are also Gr-8. I don't relish meeting the windshield with my face, nor the steering column with my (beer) belly

Grade 8.... As stated above, some say its over kill but I tend to do that when my life comes into the equation. I would also use a grade 8 washer on both inside and outside of the car also. The washers will help spread the load of said "g forces" over a wider area so the bolt head does not pull through the thin sheet metal as easily.Last edited by BigTruckDriver; 03-01-2009 at 08:55 AM.
