   hi david your a lucky guy in the fact you can use stainless steel.
    what your doing now looks great.
   i love to play with s/s. but only use it on my boat.
   but saying that i have done sum bits to the stator bracket with 316.

   now you said in another post about locking up all the nuts and bolts.
   there's not many nuts and bolts on mine. but as yet haven't locked every thing up
   yet.  
   so maybe if i say what i am thinking you might help.
   first i am getting ny-loc s/s nuts.
   i also have split washers. for locking up.
   but i am wondering about serrated washers. all in s/s.
   then there is two nuts locked together.
   this all concerns the stater mounts .

 and also lock-tite . a mild type. i did wonder about super glue as a lock on threads
   as you know i have a big big nut on the back of my rotors.
  i will make a locking tab for that. i will enjoy that.

   now i need to be honest. with most things i just tighten it up as hard
   as   i can.  more concerned with getting it undone later than it coming undone.
    if the mill was at ground level i could check on lose bits.
    so unless i hear something making a noise like rubbing.
    or laying on the ground underneath. or mill not putting out power.
     i am going to do my best here. but just what is the best way to hold a fibre
   glass stater .
 must get sum movement due to heat and cold.
  so any tips here will help much. blueyonder.

its a ill wind that dos no good
