Hi all:

I suspect that neither of the 2.0L Vanagon engines I'm rebuilding has
"genuine VW" nuts for the 6 big (10mm) through bolts that hold the case
halves togther.  Looking at the heads of these bolts I read the number
"10.9" which is, I guess, a higher grade than the typical "automotive"
application.

Can I use regular 10mm x 1.25 nuts here, or is there a higher-grade nut I
should be using in this application?
