I would be very careful about using stainless steel studs and copper nuts together.

Stainless steel is not very strong and those copper nuts bite too much.

I recently tried to use this exact combo on my 951 and the first nut I tried to tighten broke the sharky stud in half. I was not very happy.

Thanks for that. Maybe with stainless nuts as well???

I had used over length stainless cap bolts cut so that the full depth of the thread in the head was used but still worry I'll eventually strip a thread.
