They are under such low torque that a quality hardware store bought or Allen head with a spring washer should be OK, right?
Pretty sure the answer is yes but this seems like one of these things that’s worth double checking before it gets sealed up. Thanks! |

Was socket head stock? Most socket head screws are taller than a hex head bolt, you don't want to have problems with clearance

I believe these are M8x 15 hex head, Bruce wrote that you need to make sure to use grade 8.8 minimum. |

I believe they are low tensile strength, high shear strength. Length is critical. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Grade 10.9 from my local hardware store.. but they've got a fantastic fastener department. Fresh bolts, dab of locktite and you're good to go.
