Spitfire:
When I rebuilt mine I used stainless where you could not see it (main stand for example) and re plated where you could, the purists will not like it but the engine is fully Allen bolt, lots of copper grease used.

I rebuilt my 400/4 in 1985 using st/st screws/bolts everywhere with copperslip, and there was not a single problem after 30 yrs, every thing came apart for inspection with no problems, although I did use dome headed st/st allen screws around the tappet covers to gain space on rebuild this time.

How about Titanium as they really are imperiously to virtually any type of corrosion

 https://www.titane-services.eu/Titanium-screw-Hexalobular-socket-raised-countersunk-head-ISO14584-Grade-5-Diameter-M5 something like this for points cover.

https://www.titane-services.eu/Vis-Titane-ISO14583-TORX-Tete-bombee-Grade-5-TA6V-Diametre-M3 or this type for general casings,  different sizes available.

I think the cost of titanium screws etc on a full rebuild would be over the top, if you can source 316  st/steel ones they are resistant to most things.

I've got a lot of stainless on my 400. Most are available from Stig's Stainless Fasteners.  www.a2stainless.co.uk
He has shouldered set screws if you want them.

Other sellers are available. ☺
