Wicks has SS bolts listed as AN bolts. Does this mean they have the same
properties as the non AN bolts they list?

OK, let me clarify that...
"There's typically a pretty big difference in the
properties of stainless and something like an AN3 bolt." There are plenty
of examples of stainless AN and MS bolts, but just because it says AN or MS
on it, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll hold your wings on...
Although stainless is tough it is not nearly as hard as an AN bolt. In
wing attach fittings all you are interested in is shear strength. I
personally wouldn't think of using anything but an unmolested AN bolt for
this particular application. Bobby

OK that is not what I wanted to hear this close to finalizing my hardware
installs. Maybe the $150.00 dollars in ss bolts can be used somewhere else.
Aircraft spruce has got to love me. At least I haven't put epoxy in the bolt
holes yet as a sealer.

Steven,
The only two places I would be concerned about the stainless bolts
are on the wing attach fittings and the prop bolts. Absolutely use AN
bolts in these two applications. The only other problem with
stainless is it's really heavy compared to using AN hardware. Bobby
