Making a trip to the "bolt store" today and meanwhile I have my ORD bolt on steering brace coming. Thinking about picking up some Grade 9 bolts for it. Anybody know the bolt sizes I'll need?

Bolt sizes for steering box and ORD bolt on brace?

The kit comes with Grade 8 bolts. Some people have found that theirs stretched. There's even a member here who sells the necessary Grade 9 bolts but he's on the opposite side of the country from me.
Bolt store moved...I'll go tomorrow. Anybody know what the specs and dimensions are on these bolts?

Buyer beware with anything over Grade 8. There is no SAE standard for those bolts, so you never know what you are going to get. Also beware cheap Grade 8 bolts - there are fake Chinese bolts that claim to be Grade 8 (or higher) but they are really crap. I don't know of any automotive application that would require greater than (real) Grade 8 bolts when properly used.
