I have a question, why SST? If you say steel ones rust, there is another issue water intrusion, which should be addressed.
Because for me, 90% of our camping is at the beach and the salt eats at everything inside and out. I have a complete selection (probably 20lb. worth) of SS screws, nuts, washers, Nylocks, etc., including a separate bag of 3/4 sheet metal SS painted satin black to replace those from the factory that rust through the paint. ANYTHING that gets removed for any reason is replaced with SS. It's turned into a fetish..
