Black Streaks
Stainless works fine for most exterior finishing but watch out when you use them
where stress or flexing comes into play. I used a high grade self tapping
stainless on my ladder and 3 out of 4 broke in one short trip around the block.
I was able to remove 2 of the screws with vise grips but the 3rd would NOT come
out. I bought special drill bits and nothing would touch it so i had to punch it
through from the outside and finished the job by installing bolts from the
inside and used a nice acorn nut on the outside. " Had to remove the shelf at
the window ledge from the inside" Anyway, the old 77 FC is looking better by
the bolt! jim
