I'm doing my runningboards over and, in the process, found out all the bolt-kits sold are zinc-coated which means they will rust.

I went to Home Depot and all they had was galvanized stuff ... which will also rust, it just takes a little longer.

Finally I found a great source for all stainless steel bolts, nuts, washers ... you name it -- here:
McMaster Carr

Thought I'd share the info.

Man! Home Depot and Lowe's has wiped out all the hardware stores in Jersey ... by me, anyway.

I went to a number of hardware stores that I thought I knew about ... one was gone, one was liquidating everything and was closed, and one had dropped all the hardware stuff and went strictly into paints!

That's why I had to go to the web. Crazy times we live in, eh?
