Grade 8 bolts drill nicely. In fact I will do the same today.
I hope you're right. This is a metric button head fine thread. Won't be easy
to find another. Murphy is my partner. I wouldn't even ask if i had a
practice bolt or two.
Unlike US alloy socket heads, metric socket heads come in different
grades. The most common (class 12.9) is similar to US alloy socket
heads, and perhaps 5 points harder than a grade 8 cap screw on the Rc
scale.
