I have a long history in broadcasting with SS, much of it unpleasant because of its tendency to gaul, freeze and require bolt breaking (3/8" bolts) strength just so it can be replaced, anywhere up to 2000' up in the air. So I'm not real fond of putting an SS bolt into a casting that isn't readily replaceable. These black iron grade 12's will be just fine. They won't be out in the weather, at least on my watch. :) Thanks. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
