Bought the stainless strips unpolished from mar kay and polished them along with stainless bolts from the home depot. not a big job if you have a table saw to recess the planks for the strips | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 74 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 74 | I dont know about wood but the screws and bolts Ive bought from chevy duty are crap, they strip out so fast, shoulda just thrown my money away. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | I try to avoid parts that are the cheapest by far, which is usually an indicator of quality, and go w/ slightly cheaper, which is an indicator of markup differences - consider shipping too on something like that
