Will replacing with a different type of bolt cause a problem? The different bolt is same size and thread.

Hey J4,

Can you give us a picture of a bolt head of one of the original bolts and the bolt you want to replace it with?

There are identifiers on the head that show tensile strength.

To be honest i would go and get the correct bolt.

Better safe than sorry, it will be worth it in the long run.

Regards, Joe
