after a while of some heavy use, I have had to replace the rear-end bolts with grade 8s. The stainless stretched, and the gasket began to leak. The grade 8s torqued down, and stopped the leaking, so it stays together for now. The only place I've had the problem is on the rear-end, all others are holding well. Thought I'd share for those considering a full stainless hardware resto.
