Just my 2 pennies here, but I'm going to be using SS hardware but I'll be using SS Nyloc Nuts. Also if using SS, be sure to use never seize compound, if you don't, the nuts will almost for sure seize

My 2 more cents.... I have used one or two stainless steel bolts in the past when short a bolt. However, my recollection was that stainless steel is not as strong as the bolts supplied with the tower

Nyloc nuts are great (as are "jet" aka "k" nuts) but be careful re stainless. Look at rated strength vs say a grade 8 nut. A jet nut has a 160000 psi strength, where you are talking 85k-100k for stai

Charlie, I understand & I'm really only interested in the shear strength of the bolt itself. When I was in 1 land I wasn't as critical about hardware as I've learned to be here in 4 land (Southwest C

That's contrary to my experience. I've had many SS nuts and bolts gall upon removal that did not gall upon application. However, it has not recurred since I started using anti-seize compound. Kim N5O
