Right-on Dan!
I've always considered every nut and bolt on my own car. My Lonestar came with a nut and bolt package, and they were all grade 5. I replaced every nut and bolt NECESSARY with fine thread grade8. I said necessary because of each nut and bolt's application, (like Dan said so well) determines weither it needs a grade 5 or 8. I've been building and wrenching on everything from bicycles to motorcycles to cars for over 30 years, and will tell you first hand that it is not necessary to have all grade 8 hardware throughout.
