Just curious, what kind of stainless? My concern would be to make sure you are over compensating for the significant reduction in strength between stainless and a tempered steel part especially with an undampened part. Even exotic stainless alloys like Inconels are about 75% of the strength of hardened tool steel and more typical stainless alloys fight to equal the strength of 7000 series aluminum alloys.

I am all about stainless fasteners and parts, for all kinds of things, just make sure you take into consideration the requirements of the piece. Not saying you didn't, just don't want to see someone go off a cliff for pretty.
