I have been corrected by my friend LI-Rick about fastener designations.

No more SAE and USS. It is now UNF and UNC, I am assuming for fine and coarse.

Stan, I was not thinking of how tough the beam is. I was just not wanting the beam to separate from the chassis, because that could be BAD. I know for a fact the beam will bend, been there, done that.

And you are right, good hardware is awesome. US/SAE Grade 8 is pretty strong.

It is a massive shame that the hardware industry along with scores of others have basically left the USA. NAFTA was one of the worst things for this country.

Did you also know that Metric 8.8 is roughly equivalent to US Grade 5? Very interesting.
