Thanks Bill. I have just checked the factory bolts and they have three
marks, thus grade 5. I think I'll stick to grade 8 bolts, now finding them
will be tomorrow's task.

Cheers,

Thanks, I don't think the local club has any such requirement for grade 8
here. I have taken some photos of what it looks like now (front and back)

three marks, thus grade 5.
