Nope.....but just be careful where you use them. Stainless is weak in shear and use plenty of coppaslip.

I've used them for years they have a really good selection of UNC stuff and post quick as well. As Lacy says. Use copperslip on all stainless to ally applications to stop galvanic corrosion and stainless to stainless applications to stop galling or pick up :yup:

And its as weak as piss, don't use it on anything your life depends on, especially don't have wheel spindles made from stainless, I've had to machine the spindle from out of the wheel / swingarm assembly a couple of times for people.
