as some of you know i started stripping my saff many many months ago now to have all the underside painted and so forth
now in the next couple of weeks it will be going for painting then ill start rebuilding it again
now heres the question
every nut and bolt i strippped off the car, i can buy in stainless steel as i work in an engineering back ground
i know how
it would look with every single bolt on the car being done in stainless but can anybody thing of any problems
i.e strength wise compared to the high tensile ones ford used
im just after a few opinions
thanks gaz

I don't even think you'll be able to torque a stainless bolt up to the factory settings on the rear beam..
Personally things like are not worth risking, if you launch it and a bolt gives way, or you hit a pot hole and a swingarm falls off - not worth thinking about!
Perhaps you can chrome dip the standard bolts (well the heads anyway??)
