Stainless Steel Fasteners - Redux

Hi.

Thanks to all who responded to my previous posting (

fasteners on my bike with stainless steel equivalents.

A friendly engineer at work got me the bolts f.o.c from
our suppliers. Apparently they view any quantity less
then 000's as "samples"!

Hopefully, they'll be up to the job. The engineer says
that QA usually performs hardness and strength tests
on a sample of each batch used in actual production,
and the supplier hasn't let us down yet.

I started installing the bolts yesterday. Cutting stainless steel
bolts to length with a dremel is not much fun, btw.
