Grade 9 Bolts

[Justin Reagan]

Does anyone know of a good place to buy these? I've seen a few places on the internet to buy them in bulk, but that would be a bit expensive, in the amounts you have to buy.

Justin,

I've contacted the company that makes them which is brighton best and they told me the 1/4 by 6 inch isn't available. Only reference I can find is to the shorter ones.

Unless they were mistaken which I don't think they were it seems that the may no longer be made in that size. Maybe somebody can correct me.

I guess they weren't thinking of us benders when they made that decision, huh?

Yeah I was kinda bummed. I wanted to try some even though I've already bent the F911 which is significantly harder according to those who've bent both. Just neat to try different things. I do have some Grade 8 bolts made by the same company who makes the L9 fastening system, and I think they must've used the Lammalloy alloy for this batch of G8s because they cal'd at 495 lbs. Eric calibrated some of the same brand of G8s from another batch and they only hit the normal numbers like 460 or something.
