You mold the denso take around the nut and washer, the first couple will be a bit difficult but you soon get the hang of it.

Many years ago I built a pole house close to the sea and the holes were drilled slightly oversize and each bolt had a length of alkathene on it and malthoid under each washer .

If they are then SS ain't for that. Need to use either old-fashioned galv with tar, or Silicone bronze/Gunmetal and Sika.
Can the OP tell us what 25mm bolts are being used for tho. sounds like a gargantulus structure.

I know SS isn't ideal for the purpose, but some people do use it.

The use seems to be a secret, the usage question has been asked a number of times. Time to move on I think.
They have a huge range of stainless steel (and other) fasteners for good prices.

Has the OP just decided that stainless steel is what is required or has the use of stainless steel been specified in some "approved design" or specification for this job ? i.e. has the op been told he / she has to use stainless steel or has it been his / her decision ?

Often people don't realise that stainless steel is weaker than regular steel.

And is also far more prone to corrosion in certain conditions than regular steel. It's brittle. In the right conditions, it is useful tho.
