Subject:Re: [Friday] Bolts -- Rockwell hardness translate to grade?

All right boys and girls, moms and dads, ladies and gentlemen -- my
original post said nothing about using the jack to lift a van so I could
crawl under it. It was a question about how to translate hardness to
bolt grade. The usage is immaterial, and I probably made a mistake even
mentioning it seeing as how some have felt compelled to overlook the
question and instead warn me to not do something I'm not planning to do
nor said I was gonna do.
