Good points but I am pretty sure he is aware of this considering it is a suspension bolt.

I'm an engineer by trade, but the advice is good.

I was looking for the grade 8 but they were out of stock for the length. I'll find one somewhere. I might have one at work meant for someone's airplane.

Or, I suppose they just just hire another engineer.

That is a fairly common bolt. Tractor supply if Lowe's doesn't have it
i use the internet to find specialty screws/nuts/bolts close by.
There is always one in bigger cities.
