I had one of the rear axel mount areas replaced by a welder, thinking I was being clever I got him to weld in stainless bolts to prevent them rusting and snapping. It wasn't till afterwards I realised I've probably been an idiot. Do these need to be high tensile bolts? Are the stainless bolts too soft and potentially going to make it unsafe?
Any opinions/advice much appreciated!

I need to get the drivers side sorted at some point so might just get them to change the bolts 😬
