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.

73,
