In fact, to add to this, avoid using SS bolts in ANY structural or high  
stress application. They just aren't strong enough or fatigue resistant enough.  
Outside of exhaust system bolts, I can't really think of an appropriate or  
worthwhile use on a Corvair.

i would  be very careful using stainless bolts on any suspension parts. the

they 
are safe on suspension areas.maybe they have something now  thats ok , but do 
 
your homework! there is a lot to it..
