I do purchase some SS onesys and twoseys from my local ACE (8-10 miles) but generally I like to buy a box of a certain size, usually of the smaller diameters. Plus - my local store does NOT have the 12-24's that an 'A' often needs - and yes my car is assembled with SS fasteners wherever they are not under load or a safety concern - then they are ARP. McMaster-Carr will ship overnight and often the price with shipping is about the same or often less then ACE, even with shipping. The ACE quality seems fine for parts that don't have much load.
