Hi Steve, I misunderstood you then, I thought it was the primary fastener
like the rivets, in that case, probably ok, but it still will rust-would
rather pay the extra money for the stainless and not have to worry abt it
10 years from now when it has a problem. The other thing to consider is
that a TEK screw is meant to be used once, if it's taken out, it destroys
the hole to some degree and another screw in the hole will most likely not
hold.
