Deez bolts look nice. You reckon deez nuts on the interior are also stainless?

 

[GeorgeC]

They're on the other side of the strut, and they too are stainless.

I like to point out the stainless is softer that steel. I hope you took that in consideration when you made the change.

I'm pretty sure the tensile strength of stainless steel Eyebolts still well exceed the force a 140's wings can generate .

That's huge. The little flip out tie down on my Cardinal is about 3/16 inch across if that.

This is the tiedown hook.

It depends on which alloy/grade of stainless and which alloy of steel you are comparing. Also the heat treat properties of each are very important. I own/run an aerospace machine shop. We make lots of aircraft parts out of high strength stainless steels and almost none out of regular steel alloys.

Steel can be harder than any of the stainless products.
Why when tieDowneye.php is good as that it needs to be.

And far stronger than any tie down strap I've ever used.

This is true, but the harder a steel is heat treated the more brittle it is. For strength you generally do not want something as hard as you can get it!
