The Bolt Specs for shear on the 1/2" ones are 17,870 lbs each and the Tension Break for the 5/8" ones is 36,524 lbs each. So if the 1/2 inch ones all sheared at once it would take 500,360 lbs of forse and the 5/8 inch ones would take 365,240 lbs of forse. Probley more information then you wanted to know but this gives me a 10+ to 1 safety factor on the mounts for the tank. Mark H.
