I agree! Some years ago at EBI there was a booth with all stainless bolts for the fenders and bumper brackets. It was reall nice not to have rusty bolts anymore, but the sack of bolts and rings was really heavy. The plstic bag almost tore apart under its weight!
I wouldn't use them for the bumpers of course, but this is very interesting as my light-weight fiberglass fenders wouldn't even need the strong stainless bolts anyways. Alu ones like these would be quite enough and would save several kilos easily.
Thanks!
