oh of course grade 8 at least, for me, just to keep this project moving, I may take the short cut for now and use a bolt and nut until I have the ability or better knowledge to do it right(factory).

Thanks for all the kind words Wes. If feel just as blessed to have the mighty USA as our neighbour. Canada has it's beauty and history but nowhere near as colourful as Americas.
