Metric bolt grades
In Response To: No, No, No... ()

Grade 8 is the designation for SAE (inch) bolts. For metric you would use grade 10.9 which is a close equivalent that readily available. A bit less strength but very close. There is also a stronger grade 12.9 but they are hard to find in the 10mm size range.
