What size are the screws, and what style of head?

A fastener stockist or boat chandler may be able to supply stainless steel parts, or a supplier specialising in auto / motorcycle custom parts may stock chromed fasteners.

BZP would probably tarnish and darken quite rapidly in a humid atmosphere.
 
stainless screws are much easier to get in a huge variety of sizes

chrome screws are often chrome on brass which is not strong

Are you sure you mean set screws.....? :confused:

Set scres are like bolts, with a thread all the way to the head.
 
Big al and hitch , you seriuosly dont know what a set screw is ? perhaps its terminoligy just in my neck of the woods , anyway i am warming to the idea of stainless steel SET SCREWS counter sunk off course .
Thanks for all your help once more . mark
 
How do you get your spanner on to tighten it up if it's countersunk?

You dont because the c/sunk style has a screwdriver slot or hexagon drive for high torque .
