Any body know if there,s any companies doing the ss replacement nuts bolts etc for the new toilet. I bought some of e-bay for my last 06 gs .

I think you should get them marketed.

You could call them 'Stainless Stevie Allen Bolts'

There are good reasons that manufacturers don't use stainless nuts and bolts. Cost is one but suitability for application is significant too.

Stainless steels tend not to like vibration and they enjoy welding to themselves when assembled dry. They are unlikely to be as strong as alloy carbon steels selected for high stress areas such as for suspension and brake applications. Use stainless steel on engine casings and other cosmetic areas but avoid high stress areas.
