My 14 sections of Rohn 55 were used when I got them and
some of the bolts were in pretty bad shape. It wasn't corrosion
as much as being messed up from hammering in through
the holes in the sections. I simply took one to a local stainless
supplier (Thunderbolt and Nut in Richmond, CA) and had him
sell me several boxes of stainless replacements for the bolt
and nut. No problems in seven years.
