Tom Smedley:You can also get SS snaps in the rope, chain, and fasteners section of Lowes or other Building Materials suppliers for much less than at marine supply stores.
OWSI176288:I also found that a lot of the S.S. clips from local "big box" hardware stores also have carbon steel springs. I believe, but am not sure, that marine grade S.S. clips have S.S. springs.
