RSB Bolt Markings - strength?
Stuart Walker - 29/8/06 at 12:56 PM

The bolts that came with my harnesses are marked as "RSB S". My SVA tester asked me about this, as they need to be at least 8.8 strength. I've had a quick google search, but can't find any information / conversion tables for RSB markings (I have some smaller ones marked "RSB R").

If anyone knows anything about these, help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Stu

what harnesses are they and can the supplier/manufacturer provide any info on them?

You only get the 8.8 mark with metric bolts & I think your belt bolt are imperial, I found somewhere on the web that the s means 8.8,

try this at the bottom, the rsb must be the manufacturer, the r & the s are the grade
