Will I'm making progress on the VAIW .. took it apart 5 years ago and had some health problems , so it got put on the "back burner" .. this year I clean it up and start painting it ...

Question : found some of the bolts I need , but was wondering .. Should I use grade 5 or grade 8 bolts ???

... I'm trying to get it done for the 175th show in Albert City , Iowa

THANKS for your help ........... mark

I highly doubt there was any grade 8 used back in the day (if they even had them). Grade 5 will be more than fine.
 
I use grade 8 the gold colored ones. then I don't paint them they contrast with the paint very well. The VAIW is looking good. Does it have the big weight or fenders? The one I have has fenders. Steve
 

Steve ,
THANKS for the come back .... it has the HEAVY rear fenders { 850 lbs each .. I weight than } I'm cleaning and painting as I need the things .... mostly because I have to think and look at the pictures I took before I dismounted it ...
I got the front axle under it now ... so I'm getting ready for next step...

............ THANKS .......... mark
