Partially threaded (around 30mm thread length) For strength, and availability any B7 fastener will do the job well. 4140 or 4130 heat treated, black oxide coated. Never had issues with socket head bolts holding to the head. Cheap, and available at about every Ace Hardware, Fastenal, or Grainger. The stock bolts are actually a better material than this but they are no longer available new. |
