I'm tring to identify the hardness/grade of new and old Whitworth BSF nuts and bolts. I'd like to use the equivilent of grade 8 fasteners on the suspention as I restore my 53' MGTD. Most of the old and new bolt heads I have are marked with an "R" on the head. I believe this indicates the approximate equivilant of SAE grade 5. Can anyone please give me more information about makings, hardness, coatings etc., of British Whitworth fasteners.
Thanks
