This message is a reply to an archived post by Bob on September 24, 2007 at 07:31:25. The original subject was "Re: Manifold Nuts, Stainless Steel Or Brass?".
The small Continental aircraft engines around 100 HP use brass fine thread nuts. Other than squeeking a little when removing, they always seem to come off okay. On the 150 HP Lycoming, they use course thread and steel nuts (and this is what most seem to want on their Fergusons). I have always favored the Brass as they don't rust.

About half of the steel nuts overall on my tractor were about rusted off or else extremely pitted. One wrap with the chisel and they POP off.
Guess that I will use a grade 8 steel nut as they are more rust-proof.
