hardware question for suspension stuff
This is kind of a weird question:
I've been using grade 8 hardware for my suspension from Tractor Supply - the gold colored stuff. My question is where do I get hardware that is silver in color? Is the grade 5 good enough or is there silver colored grade 8? |

Re: hardware question for suspension stuff
'Gold' = yellow zinc plating
'Silver' = bright zinc plating The only place I know to get bright zinc GRADE 8 is from a bolt supply house. For the high-end budget/build, stainless steel GRADE 8 hardware is available too.
