Its interesting that they should say that Stainless is" maintenance free"
Stainless fastenings when used with dissimilar materials, particularly
Aluminium ( keep them away from Magnesium) will promote galvanic action,
particularly near the ocean. I have been using Stainless for many years
on many different aircraft, I like the appearance, but Corrosion has been
a problem, even with carefull installation and using a inhibitor
(LPS3/ACF50/T9) If you are contemplating using stainless fastenings,
then at least be aware they are NOT foolproof .
