Galling
Hello Geoff
One thing to keep in mind with stainless steel is it is prone to " galling " this is where the threads seize. It is worst with stainless to stainless but can happen with stainless to other metal type joints.
You can ( should ) lubricate the threads to help stop it, do a search on what you can use or may have on hand that is suitable.
If / when it happens the threads will seize and the only way to separate them it to drill out the bolt and to re-tap, I was sceptical until it happened to me.
