The Ford Barn - View Single Post - V-8 Hardware and Fasteners

I wondered about this as the Early Ford books I have only have finishes and the Parts green book list all fasteners as s1 finish. So, I looked up the founding date of the SAE which is one thread spec and I found 1905 and one of the founding vice presidents was Henry Ford. USS which is another thread spec can be found similarly as coarse instead of fine. ASTM bolts and nuts are for structural not automotive. Grade 2, Grade 5, Grade 8 those are the strengths I know. I did once consider buying a dune buggy kit until I saw it had kitchen hardware with square nuts.
