Jim,
Just as with "regular" fasteners, there are different strength stainless
fasteners. Its important to use the proper strength fasteners in critical
applications. Also when using stainless, there are assembly
considerations/procedures that are not generally required on conventional
fasteners. Here are a few URLs with good info:
