M8 bolts for attaching STA to back plate

[Tiddler]

Just wondering which stainless steel bolts people recommend for attaching an STA to a back plate A4 or A2 stainless. I think the A2's are stronger but the A4's are more resistant to corrosion. Any views would be great.

You're seriously over-thinking this.

I found many STA's are with UNC thread, I found some 316 SS Marine Grade on Ebay for a few pounds various sizes. ( Item Number 160508124128 )

6 pcs M8 X 25 STAINLESS A4 316 CUP SQUARE HEX BOLTS on eBay (end time 17-Apr-11 12:31:14 BST)

Kev at LINK: A2A4 has helped me out many times with weird American threads before in A4 stainless.
