Talking nuts and bolts

You will never go wrong using the grade 5 medium carbon steel, with the cadmium plating (like Thatch) if you want a little anodic protection. Many special fasteners are listed in the online MM catalogue. The grade 8 is nice too if you can spring a little extra $. Definitely check the catalogue first.
