Zinc parts...

[murf26]

I've had a heck of a time finding stainless Steel washers/bolts.  Usually have to go with zinc-plated which don't last too long.  Anyone have a good source for stainless parts?  Thanks...

McMaster-Carr has all the 316 ss and nylon machine screws, bolts, nuts and washers you might ever need. I even think they might also carry the kitchen sink. Hope this helps.

I've been fairly lucky in finding my Stainless steel at Ace hardware
everyonce in a while I'll find some at Home depot or Lowes Hardware but in all honnesty its not very often...Ace hardware usually has what I need. unfortionately they don't carry much raw metal stock though !

(take a magnet with you and check the stainless steel though...I've hurd that some of it ain't very high quality Stainless steel and may well add to the goo formation!)
(so if it sticks real good , don't buy it !)
