Square 1/2 inch U-bolts (Stainless) cheap...where to find?

[Zebco33]

upgrading my trailer and replacing rusty galv L-brackets w/ aluminum L-brackets. I want to couple with SS u-bolts. Where can I get them without paying 10 bucks a pop for one?
:shock:
thanks

use caution stainless does not have the same tensil strength as heat treated steel which is then galvanized. You might want to find out the SWL of the SS ones before ordering. jh

For a spare tire or lisc. plate go SS but for structural parts go with the galv. steel.

This place has a lot of trailer parts. Never used them so I can't vouch for their service, but the prices seem reasonable.

I don't see the benefit in using ss bolts and nuts as you will still have galvanized hardware which will need replacement in 5 - 8 years anyways. But, T A Mahoney's in Tampa, FL, has all those parts in stainless but they are quite pricey.
