Does anyone understand how grades of steel nuts work? I just ordered some and these arrived, they are marked |5| and H which worried me as they will be used with grade 8.8 hi tensile bolts.
But just found this table: http://www.fastenermart.com/understanding-fastener-grades-and-classes.html
The table suggests that the grades used on nuts aree different and a grade H or 5 nut like mine is compatible with grade 8.8 bolts. Anyone clarify?
BTW this isn't just a case of OCD, these nuts will be used on my suspension links so need to match the OEM ones.
