Default High Tensile bolts.

Hi, On the front of a Canadian Carrier there are some counter sunk bolts which hold the front plate on 3/8" BSF. I would of thought the ones which go through the lifting eyes would of been high tensile.

I cant find any here in the UK, they do counter sunk bolts/set screws in high tensile but they all seem to be allen key counter sunk heads. As the ones in the lifting eyes form part of a lifting device, I need high tensile with a minimum rating. Has any one else faced this problem.

Cheers Kevin.

Oh, I do plan to lift my carrier on and off transport fully loaded with kit.
