Stainless steel screw kit for CRC???
Hi,
I am looking for a stainless steel screw kit (tired of the aluminum screws) for my CRC T fource and the only one that I could find was through RCSCREWZ, but I personally think $24 shipped is very high for a handful of screws.
Just let me know.
Thanks, Mike

stainless steel screws are a softer metal and more suseptable to breaking.. The only benefit of stainless is it wont rust. but if ya got ya hart set on them try ya local boater store.

I appreciate your reply (and avatar), but I think that you maybe mistaken since:
Aluminum AlMgSi1 (EN 6082)
The tensile strength is 330 N/mm2
and
Stainless steel aisi 316 (1.4401)
The tensile strength is 600 N/mm2
Where N/mm2 is Newton per square mm
It has also been my experience that I have had better luck with stainless steel screws than aluminum.
