the hardware store grade bolts aren't going to cut it.

you need to get some automotive grade bolts as soon as you can. seriously.

place an order at your local honda dealership. they're $8 each.

the reason i say that is because the hardware grade can experience catastrophic failure if you hit a big enough bump or pothole.


btw, start at midway between full H and full S.

then start fiddling from there.

 

thats a very good point, drbyers.thank you. i should have mentioned that you should get quality hardware if you opt out of the honda brand. i bought 8.8 gradewhich isplenty strong enough for this app. but you definately would not want to put just any cheap bolts in there.

thanks again everyone!
