soft and stretches easy huh? Is this a2 or a8?Don't use stainless. It is soft and stretches easily. Get titanium instead. It will cost more but you will have no worries.
you are correct, that is why you should use anti seize any place ss meets aluminuim.Having been in the machine building industry for 20+ years, the thing I have found with SS hardware is that when you install it in to Aluminum or AR Steel it tends to gall and then you have a hard time removing it. This does not always happen but if you over torque or cross thread you are as good as done for. Ti is the way to go. Or Chrome. Hope this helps
I always Anti Sieze all my fastners unless using Locktight. We have also found that in high corrosion areas (Washdown applications) that lock tighting a fastner works 100 times better than anti sieze. That's because the Lock tight becomes plastic and seals very well and will not wash out like A.S. over time.you are correct, that is why you should use anti seize any place ss meets aluminuim.Having been in the machine building industry for 20+ years, the thing I have found with SS hardware is that when you install it in to Aluminum or AR Steel it tends to gall and then you have a hard time removing it.
