Get some grade 8. I sell them with my billet pegs, and I haven't had a problem yet. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 grade 8 sounds good to me. hit the hardware store and pick you up some bolts. by the way, you dont really need grade 8. i use like grade 5 for mine and never had any problems. Quote
racer Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 maybe some grade 12 aircraft hardware would be enough. Quote

Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) i welded my fuckin pegs right to the frame, there never comin off! 342355[/snapback] Wow, frocash...! That's a bit extreme! One of mine had snapped and I replaced them all with Grade 8's (8.8). ps. Your signature is class!! ....
