Hi Folks. Most of you already know this but two words of caution about
using stainless steel fasteners.

1.  There are all kinds of stainless steel alloys and some don't have
much strength, make sure you know your fasteners have adequate strength
for the job they do.

2.  When assembling stainless steel fasteners always use anti-seize
because they tend to seize up to each other otherwise (weld themselves
together) and become impossible to take apart.  Cheers from Ardun Bill
