Stainless bolts for Bronze Seacock

[7228sedan]

Looking for any concerns with installing a new bronze seacock with stainless steel fasteners. The fasteners are to be counter sunk in a fiberglass hull & sealed in epoxy. I have concerns with the studs and any electrolysis reacting with the seacock flange.

Unless of course someone knows where I can find 3-5/16 diameter X 2.5 inch long bronze machine screws and nuts

I can't find them anywhere...

It is a really bad idea to use stainless. Did you try an internet search. I typed "bronze fasteners" and got a lot of hits.

I did Gonzo. I wouldn't dare post without doing some research first
I checked Jamestown & a few others. None had the size or type I needed. I'll keep up the effort as I too am weary of mixing the metals.

I never heard of Boltdepot, however they have them! And I don't have to order them by the gross either. Thank you as always!

CCfasteners has them listed, not cheap at about $6 apiece but well worth it.

Bolt Depot had the bolts, washers, nuts etc all individually priced. I'm in for $17.00 with the shipping... ZERO complaints! machine screws, flat & split washers, and nuts all silicon bronze. Small price to pay for peace of mind!
