Only Problem with fastinal is They will want to sell you 1000 of them in a bulk bag. I'd find a good mom and pop hardware store . They'll likely have stainless hardware in singles. If your worried about tensil strength and want to match it up exactly, why not go back OEM ?

Bill is correct, "Monel" is what we use in the drilling business - "Monel" is non-magnetic Required for telemetry operations. SS 316 will work.

Don’t forget when using stainless steel bolts use anti seize stainless is bad about seizing up

Dadgummit. Why didn't you post that earlier.

Fastenal hooked me up with 316 2.5" 3/4 x 10 bolt I needed. And then hooked me up with the same again when that stankin thang seized up due to some aluminum shavings. Couldn't budge it with a 30" breaker bar. Cut off wheels will save a fella. DD ought to buy em by the gross.

Y'all watch out for that fella up there. He withholds critical information right when ya need it. Prolly the type to tell you exactly where to catch em right after the weigh in. Pffft.
