Class A2 stainless steel is really soft, A4 is the highest and then only equivalent to normal class 8.8 fasteners. Capscrews should be high tensile, 10.9 as a minimum or ideally 12.9.
If you list down what sizes you need you can get high high tensile caps crews and stainless if you want from www.modelfixings.co.uk
This might actually work out cheaper than a specific kit, you can get the screws that you need/want and also get replacements as and when.
Just a thought. |
Funny you should say that. I was just thinking the EXACT same thing.
I decided in the end not get the stainless screw kit and stick with the normal screws,some of the team drivers recommended me sticking with the normal screws as they are higher quality.
Thanks
