It does  happen sometimes that the SS bolt and nut bite into each other and

better to use SS than those ugly, rusty, diminishing  ones.  True, they are
not as hard as the originals, but will keep the  things together just the
same.  I use them on the exhaust system all  the time, exclusively.  I would
not sleep well if I did  not.

Zoltan, loosing sleep over what kind of hardware on  your ride is going a bit
far !    Gotta love it !!
