Default Old time metallurgy.. Or metallurgist.

Most axle nuts have threads that are not perfect. I contacted one of the premier Model A parts houses and they said theirs are Grade 5.

I think the originals are somewhat harder than the modern Grade 5 designation. More like Grade 8.

Does any one know the original hardness specification in terms of modern hardnesses? Rockwell C?
