Totally stainless bolt kit

Just wondering if anyone has used the totally stainless hex and philips head master body kit on their 52 F1. Let me know your experience with the bolt kit. Thanks.

I did the same. According to my brother who is a tool and die maker, the best way to go is to use locktite on the threads and anti seize on the heads and washers.

I didn't know they existed until your post.

I looked at their catalog. While it seems kind of pricy, I bet if I added up all the stainless bolts I've bought, it would be pricy too.

I went through what I needed, made a list and ordered stainless steel from a local fastener shop. Not sure what your pricing was but I know I saved a bunch of money over Mid Fifty but had to do a bunch of leg work. But I can count.
