Ok, I made the mistake and bought bucket skis from VEVOR. Installed on bucket as soon as they arrived, 20 minutes of moving snow, the 3/8" bolts and corresponding nut were trash. Bolt bent, spot welds on nut severed. Not brain surgery skimming snow off driveway, so I'm chalking this up to inferior parts. Contacted VEVER, who sends a ton of repetitive responses, bottom line they will give me $20 or replacement. As they are new, bolt system is crap. For $20, I figure I can get a couple of stronger bolts and nuts. My buddy has a real welder, not the buzzbox I have and I'll be asking him to weld.
I'd like to go a size up for bolts/nuts. Any recommendations to size and grade? I'll be adding a second bolt to each ski, so there is less/no wiggling.
