Which is better for the hardware to hold together the legs of my aluminum
tower sections?
Galvanized or Stainless steel?
Finer thread (3/8-24) or courser thread (3/8-16)?
Flat washers plus lock washers and standard nuts? or flat washers and
locknuts?
If Locknuts, should I use the nylon insert type or the type with the indent?

Advice appreciated....  Jerry K3BZ
