I'd say clean, prep & pickle as usual. I don't so SS parts, but it sticks just fine to SS danglers!
Grab a couple of SS washers from a hardware store & try it.

Plating Stainless Steel
Caswell's British Fasteners offers a couple of sizes of Spring Washers I am in need of, but they only have them in Stainless Steel.. The "factory correct" finish of these pieces on the car were originally Black Oxide. In the interested of Preservation, as well as restoration, I'm plating all the car's fasteners in "Black Zinc". That said, is there anything one can do to Stainless Steel (that won't ruin it) so it will accept the Zinc Plating and following Black Chromate??

Re: Plating Stainless Steel
Hey, Sean.. How is it going?
I did give thought to trying some SS Test Pieces, but was also not sure is SS would,
"somehow" upset the zinc plating bath (I thought I heard that it would "react".. but that
may just be "old age and confusion" ;-} ).. but you are right about the Dangler.. Never
really considered that, before (duh...)
