Default RE engine mount bolts: Those

RE engine mount bolts: Those removed are stamped 8.8. I am replacing them with "correct" metric bolts, also stamped 8.8.......however, mine are zinc plated, instead of the regular black bolts used by Ferrari.

I could have gone with much cheaper SAE bolts, however, I wanted to keep it at least metric, even though I don't do concourses.

RE SS bolts: I have heard that SS generally, should not be used. The mild steel bolts have a stretch factor built into them, that helps to maintain enduring tension. This, I think, is lost with SS, due to it's extreme hardeness..........which would result in a loose bolt, over time.
