Hi Clint,

    I am considering offering a stainless steel hardware kit for the KX3 via
http://www.unpcbs.com/ and just found your post in the Reflector archives.
Can you bring me up to speed on the subject?

Hi Clint,

Nearly all of the KX3's hardware is already stainless steel. We knew the rig would get a lot of outdoor use in places with salt air and Mai-Tai's, both equally corrosive.

The thumbscrews are the only exception; they're steel-zinc, but plated, and we used them on earlier products with good results. Even these would go to stainless steel if it ever became an issue.
