Ach, yes, 3.5mm I new the size was pretty weird - perhaps I can get some Alu ones - the Alu ones are just as light, I think.
Aluminum may not be stronger and not advisable on parts with a lot of stress. Between titanium and aluminum, aluminum is definitely lighter.

Well, when I was in Thailand, I saw Suruth's car. Titaniums screws everywhere and for certain places, aluminum screws were used. His brother said that it saved about 50 grams or so with those stuff on it !
