Stainless Steel Security Bolts Suck!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 бер 2022
- Stainless Steel Security screws are useful in some applications but I had some trouble using them to hold on my license plate. The stainless steel reacted with the aluminum (or maybe its tin) of the license plate and corroded the threads of the bolt which were installed in a steel threaded insert on my car. Dissimilar metals tend to corrode...

You didn't use anti-seize grease on the threads. Dissimilar metals will do that. Anti-seize grease prevents that from happening.
The copper based stuff for sure.
There's like 17 different ways to remove that that does not involve destroying the plate.
Anti seize, homeboy for stainless, or carbon . It’s a time , knuckle and swear saver
Corrosion develops when two dissimilar materials are combined causing a corrosive electrolyte.
It could be that and/or could be gulling from the stainless steel.
If you use anti seize or grease it should stop the bolt from corroding and gulling
Yup - never sieze, the screw didn't corrode, your truck did.
Just like the BMW motorcycle plastic fairings stainless screws but those just spin the plastic moulded nut! 😅
Well they worked
They were secure
Good point!
I am literally using scissors with a small blade. It’s ridiculous.
Just drill the center out
Yeah. It's hard enough even with regular ones when they rust. That looks really hard to do.
Hi Rob,
Great tip.
You should have cut the head of the screw to make a slot to use a big screw driver and wrench to back it out. A little heat would have helped as well. Odd to cut the plate. If you put stainless anywhere you use anti seize. unless going into stainless, then you use some seize.
Or next time, just get a bit that goes into a watchet to actually get some leverage.
I will never use anything other than nylon bolts for my license plates. Every other kind of fastener I’ve ever had to deal with on license plates was too difficult to remove after they rusted or corroded.
Pontiac owners 😂
Why didn’t you use the vice grips to start. Waste of time to cut it out to then to still need to take it out with vice grip.
Those probably aren't anything more than 304 ss plated screws. Same as regular iron, just shiny.
Not corrosion, it's gauling
Shoulda cut a notch in the bolt and used a screwdriver
It was way too tight for that
No, you did not use the correct tools. And you did not use the correct tools when fitting your plate.
All issues here were easily avoidable.
Those screws were just fine, they did not corrode. The crappy steel your truck was built from DID corrode. A little bit of copper grease in the threads would have prevented this.
First mistake 38s Pontiac. Hehe. Next. I hate stainless steel. It's the least "stainless" of any metal nevermind steel
>thinking stainless is stain proof
Brainlet
It's not the fasteners fault... If your having trouble with dis-similar metal corrosion it's because you over tightened it and didn't use nickall thread compound. Learn about what your using before you use it....
I didn't put them on the car
@@SevenFortyOne understandable problem then, yes, but still not the fasteners fault.... My apologies for seeming rude
@@johngz3413 No worries - You're right of course but many people don't really know about dissimilar metals or wouldn't stop to think about the issue even if they do hence the impetus for the video. Its also a "short" (less than 60 sec) so there isn't really time to go into detail about why this is a problem or explain about anti-seize compounds.
@@SevenFortyOne I do believe shorts can be bumped up to 3 minutes just takes some fiddling around
" Learn about what your using before you use it"... LOL, relax, you act as if he made a remark about your family or something.
That’s not a security Allen screw. That’s a torx screw. and even if it were an Allen head, a standard Allen wrench wouldn’t even work
I never said it was an Allen screw nor was I using an Allen wrench to remove it. The tool I showed is a Torx "wrench" with the security dimple in the end.
