18-8 stainless steel bolts
Are they strong enough for water pumps, power steering pump brackets, and alternator brackets?

Re: 18-8 stainless steel bolts
Heck... stock grade 5 bolts are good enough.

Re: 18-8 stainless steel bolts
I don't know much about this stuff but by reading it sounded like they were not as strong as grade 5. I would guess they would be ok for exhaust manifolds too?

According to this (if going by the "typical" numbers and not the minimum), they are a hair lesser than a grade 5 bolt.
