bolts

V8MoneyPit:
Also, realistically priced stainless steel bolts tend to be of a lower grade than you might need for structural use. So don't! Fine for non critical parts, but don't use them on anything that you might consider safety critical.

On BZP steel fixings, the zinc plate is there as a sacrificial element to stop the structural component underneath it corroding.

carefull if you are thinking of buying cheap bolts, some cheapies shear to easily, as so stainless. bzp is just the finish, as the man said zinc plate, but ordinary black or self finish are ok. the most important aspect is the tensile, if the bolt has no numbers on its head throw them away, it should have 8.8 on it, some have a smaller figure that are not as tensile or shear quicker.stick to 8.8 and you shouldnt have any problems.
