For production its best to "investment cast" 316 as close to its final shape as you can and then machine it the rest of the way to save tooling. You might even have sink drains in your home made with 316. For Jeep parts though the most you will probably find 316 in is nuts, bolts, washers, and Shackles. |

Re: SILLY QUESTION -- JUST NEED AN OPINION FROM EVERYONE
Another thing I was real hot to put stainless on the Jeep and "prevent
rust", but now that I have the color mismatched half doors (it came with full doors) that doesn't seem so important anymore. Driving it, that's what's cool.
