S rated bolts

Hi there, I'm refitting my harnesses on my Mk Indy before I go for IVA, originally I was using the bolts that came with the harnesses but these don't have 8.8 on the head but they do have an 's' on them, will these be ok or should I change them??

Cheers Greg

I thought s grade was for unf bolts. Are yours actually metric?

Strangely they fit my Mk chassis harness mounting points, so I'm not to sure without looking at them but they are out my lock up, I know they are a fine looking thread

So it sounds like the s rated bolts should be fine for mr IVA

Yes, according to Namrick both S and 8.8 are the same specification 50-55 tons/in^2

I don't think you can even get imperial bolts with metric grade markings.
