I am getting ready to finish hanging new brakes on the 72 rear end I have for my truck, but I seem to be having a problem. I cannot find a Grade 8 bolt in 5/16ths in a 1/2" length, for the rear wheel cylinders. Will a grade 5 work OK in place of a grade 8? I really want to replace the old bolts. Thanks for any help. Jason.
