I chose 304 stainless for the corrosion resistance. A 1/4-20 flat head cap screw in 304 SS has a shear strength of around 1,900lbs, which should be more than adequate for the job.
If you want zinc plated F835 I can do that too. I just didn't think it was necessary.
I don't think it's necessary. I'm just used to avoiding stainless steel in real applications, unless it's just for holding light weight trim onto an assembly. Otherwise, I prefer black-oxide treated F835 or equivalent.
