On the subject of stainless steel fasteners...
If you are going to use stainless steel fasteners on stainless steel fasteners, to avoid galling, use a different series stainless for nut/insert and bolt/stud. If you don't, they'll be as good as welded together once you thread one onto the other. You'll be mighty unhappy if/when it comes time to remove or loosen the bolt. The inserts posted earlier are 18/8 stainless (aka 304 series). If using those, use a different, non-300 series stainless bolt, such as a 400 series stainless. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling |

1. The overall sizes (barrel and thread O.D.s) more closely match the insert I use. The stainless and plated lags are slightly smaller. 2. The galvanized threads are rough, making a more abrasive cutting edge for the tapping. Quote:

Louie, do you have a link to where it might be possible to buy internally threaded cap bolts ?
