There are Cessnas, Pipers, Funks, T-craft, Luscomb, etc. that have been flying for 50+ years with AN hardware holding on the wings and other critical components. Many with the same bolts for the entire length of time. I don't understand the big concern on corrosion and the switch to SS hardware. Use the appropriate hardware and if you don't like the way it looks in 5 or 10 years, spend $20 and replace it. Larry Flesner
