Hey Guys,

One of the shock bolts on my IH Hollowpoint is bent and I was wondering if you guys know a suitable replacement bolt for those kind of loads. I know there are a TON off different grades of bolts I just need to figure out which one I need for this specific application. Thanks!

theres only a few different "true" grading systems. for the englsih standard its grade 3 5 8... for metric all i have used has been 12.9. its the strongest they make. its all rated stuff so if you do a little poking around online you will see the forces its gona take to break them. i'd go with either grade 8 or 12.9. whatever fit. sears hardware has an ok section for bolts. and im sure if you ask at your LBS they might be able to help out. but def get a rated bolt and as strong as it comes.
