  Kind of like calling French fries "chips," tractor trailers "lorries," and cigarettes "fags" (and on a woman, the "fanny" is in the back).

  Being an American, posting on an American forum, I of course use American terminology.

But then again, Fastenal has taken so much heat over using foreign suppliers that they probably are watching them very closely. If I do end up using Fastenals, I will still continue my quest for a pair of 200,000 lbs bolts.

Toby claimed at the time that his Inconel 718 bolts were nearly 220,000 lbs tensile strength, 200,000 lbs yield strength, but Inconel 718 bar stock does not come up that high in online searches. He included a lab test sheet with his bolts, but mine is long gone (anybody save theirs?).
