Want to replace the big band bolts that bend (love alliteration!)
I assume they're 5/16"x2" galvanized and are available at any ACE hardware, right?

    Grade 5

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Yes, carriage bolts as I remember. Think grade 5 may be hard to bend Michael.

    My originals are Grade 5. According to the markings on the head anyway.

    Thanks much, you guys. Picked them up yesterday at ACE and now just waiting for a new asbestos gasket to complete my Egg "overhaul".

    An ASBESTOS gasket?!! You just have your materials confused, right?
