[QUOTE="acwd, post: 254497, member: 7495"] Not all stainless steel is magnetic. The higher the nickel content its non magnetic. The bolts that you buy should be magnetic because they are lower grade of SS. Aluminum bolts are probably made out of something in the 7000 series which would make them strong. The 7000 series Aluminum is what is used in aircrafts and such. The aluminum bolts in my boat most of them twisted off but not easily. They are pretty tough. I went back with SS because I wanted something that was readily available in the area and didnt want to order the aluminum bolts. Steve [/QUOTE]
