I have just completed painting my interior a dark grey. I want to use stainless 6 lobe screws to fasten the various panels and consoles. You can see how nice they look with the shot of my throttle console.
I have read VAF discussions about the difference with the strength of aviation grade screws and the non-aviaton type. I was going to use stainless on my QB fuel tanks. But with interior panels am I correct that the strength is not really an issue (not much load)? Also can someone tell me if there might be more potential for corrosion with this setup. All of my floors and consoles are primed on the back and painted on the outside. If you have used stainless screws and have some experience good or bad that would be appreciated.
Thanks for any advice
