[QUOTE="lindnova, post: 5394299, member: 117329"] I replaced my bolt a few years ago when new because of all the play in it - it was loose brand new. If I remember correctly it was a 3/8", but I replaced with 1/2 grade 8 that I think fit in the hole. I may have run a drill though it can't remember. It has held up fine no problems. I used a nylon lock nut on it - it only needs to be tight enough, not torqued down much. I agree about the grade 5 flexing more than an 8 in this application. I would rather have some flex than a pop and bolt heads flying off. [/QUOTE]
