I tried a bolt set but found them a bit too soft which could have meant problems undoing some later on , mine are chromed

the only problem with that is it doesnt stop them from rusting and it will peel eventually, s/s is definatly the way to go

tbh, you can't use stainless for any high torque bolts anyway.
Most of mine I CAN change have been done via a local bolt and nut stockist found via
www.yell.com .
Have cost me pennies so far
