of course, if it's of the nature of "my 'experience' says so, and I'm dead
clever, I am", that will get the weight it deserves.

I doubt they are CrMo and they are certainly not hardened
(having threaded them).

A related question: if a bolt is CrMo presumably that implies it's not
stainless and will therefore rust?
