I'm still thinking about it... it is an interesting question...

The stretch in a nylon bolt could be regarded as a plus... because it will prevent nuts from coming loose... The trick will be not to over tighten them, which is not simple for someone used to steel bolts
I think so... Still working on what the real material is so I can get a warm and fuzzy about the real strength and stretch characterisitcs...

Cheeers!
