Graham,

     I used standard grade 8 bolts for axles.  When
the DAR came around for my mid build inspection, I
told him that I was going to put castle nuts on the
bolts as soon as I found some.  He stated that not
only is grade 8 hardware acceptable, but I could
simply tighten the nut properly, and drill a hole
through the nut and bolt and throw in a cotter pin. 
It is nice having a common sense DAR in my EAA chapter
who is free!
