They'll break, especially when inserted into a non-stainless
environment..... ie: threads in bell housing of most all rotors. A
chemical reaction occurs, degrades the bolt....... a three year old can
snap the head right off the bolts..... no problemo.....

A sure-fire way to stop this from happening is to put some sort of goo, like
Noalox, or lithium grease, on the bolt before inserting it. I do that on all
my bolts on rotors, including the ones that hold the T2X rotor together.
I learned a long time ago, the hard way, how easily a stuck stainless bolt
breaks off...and the joys of getting it out.
