If what's currently on is an 8.8 (and I can't see any reason it would be anything more), then an A4-80 bolt is almost identical strength and a good replacement.
Not looked to see what the crash structure is made from, if it's steel then be careful that you don't shift the rust from the bolts to it...by using stainless into unpainted steel you'll set up a little electrochemical cell (a battery) and the steel will rust. |

It will be subject to strain if the tow eye has to be used, no need to use stainless in this area as its pretty much protected from the elements.

I wouldn't call that light rust. Bolts are 8.8. Beam is galvanised steel (I think). No part number - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001781 - well, there's a surprise. |

My advice is not to bother, stainless bolts don't have the same tensile strength of the original bolts, and this might not be an issue unless you at any point need to use the towing eye. Brian |

Stainless is fine in most areas but not as replacements for 10.9 High tensile. Your bumper beam is fine but be aware stainless does wonders to ally as a disimilar metal

As most of you know, I like a shiny engine bay. I was looking to replace my suspension top nuts with stainless until the good folks of this forum explained why it may be unwise. Instead, I polished up the originals and gave them a coat or 2 of clearcoat. A few years on and they still look like this: For an area that's not on show, a coat of grease would be far simpler and just as effective though. Cliff
