As regards stainless bolts in high-stress positions, purists tend to say no. However, I've often thought that it depends a lot on what torque they take and what metal they thread into. If they are going into light-alloy, as ours often are, that must be a limiting factor in how tight they can be and which part would fail, if any.

I only raised the subject out of interest; I can't remember without looking as to whether I've gone the same route on caliper bolts!

Oh, and I'm sure we all appreciate your efforts to bring a smile, Gary!
