I've been doing business with "Jamestown Distributors" for many years. Not cheap as they cater to the boating crowd. Good products, good service. Be sure to read the tutorial on various stainless steel grades and the advantages - disadvantages of each type. They have an on-line forum to answer technical questions. www.jamestowndistributors.com 800-423-0030 Noted during a recent visit to Home Depot (aka: Gnome Despot..HI!) a display of stainless steel hardware. I have no experience with the stainless steel hardware sold by Home Depot. My local "real" hardware store also carries stainless steel hardware. 73, Tim ________________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free!
