    I finally was able to get a set , purchased brackets and seats . Looking for tips on install: can i use regular bolts from home depot or they should be grade 8 , any specifics on drilling aluminum trailer . Regular bolts for trailer ramp seats ?!

    For aluminum to aluminum I only use stainless hardware and go up one size, use "nylock" nuts, washers and torque to 60% of grade 8 torque spec (to prevent galling).

    Stainless to stainless requires lots of anti seize…

    Especially if using nylock.
