Morrie,

These are the bolts & washers I bought on the left and I think they look good. Better than stock clutchheads in my opinion. BUT, since buying them I've had 2nd thoughts whether I should have bought the beveled washers the supplier offers as an alternative. I think they look better but they're almost twice the price so I'll live with the flat ones.

Yes, I know stainless fasteners are softer. It's because of their nickel content which also makes them rust resistant. Dsraven - I am using those polished button head stainless on the fasteners in the engine compartment that fasten the inner & outer fenders together right on top. And I will use Never seize on them too.
