Is it acceptable to use stainless steel screws to mount things to the
firewall? My local hardware store sells what appear to be high quality
stainless screws. They certainly cost a lot more than ordinary steel
screws. Seem pretty tough.
However, I am aware that high temperatures (don't know how high) and
vibration can work harden stainless steel. The guys at airflow
performance commented to me that the stainless tubes that feed their
fuel injectors get to be much stiffer and harder as the flight hours go by.
