Does anyone know if bolt No. 6 is a high tensile item?

Not too important now as I found out the replacements I brought are high tensile items

 

But if anyone does know the answer I would still be interested!

I think they are just normal bolts & not high tensile, especially judging by how easily the allen heads rounded off when you try to undo them sometimes.

Would have to agree. If they are 8.8's the heads are as soft as sh't.

Well the fact that they're socket-head bolts implies that they're extra high tensile. I don't know why but those type of bolts seem to be always made of 10.9 or 12.9 grade steel which is stronger than the standard 8.8, which is already classed as high tensile.
