I used grade 8 bolts on the T34. Works
great.
I used Hex Head Shoulder Bolts on the Cromwell (also
known as lawnmower
axle bolts). Works great in this suspended
application. Look to the
bottom of this page,

I am helping a certain someone in building a certain
un-named tank. It
is a solid axle design using bolts screwed into 5/16"
thick 6066
aluminum bar stock that is bolted to a 1/2" ply
hull. So far it seems
to be a very rugged chassis which should hold together
well. This new
vehicle will be ready in time for the next MAG battle
on Oct. 28-29.
