I'm swapping the running gear out from underneath one truck to another. The donor truck has some accessories such as spring perches on the frame that I would like to add to the truck receiving the new axle.
The spring perches are riveted on and I was wondering what would be as close to a replacement as possible, a grade 5 or a grade 8 bolt?
Disclaimer- I know that what I am doing is not factory. I will resume all risks, I would just like some suggestions on what would be the closest to the hardness of the original rivets.
