Hi,
I have a couple of pieces of equipment that use what looks like an ordinary bolt as a shear pin to protect their mechanisms. Any suggestions for a source of some sort of commodity bolts that would be significantly softer and weaker than the standard 8.8 grade that is most readily available. On US forums I see they normally suggest "Grade 2", not sure what that equates to in the UK.
Low price would be good, as these are consumable items.
Thanks, Tony S
