using stainless bolts on a batt terminal??

hi all,
connecting my second batt soon.
wanted to know if there would be any ill effects of using stainless bolts to connect my ring terminals to the batt?
i really wanted brass but cant find any. i havent checked brofasco yet, but if they do have will prob be cost prohibitive..

it should be fine, watch for corrosion after a year or so as mating dissimilar metals in a corrosive atmosphere could be an issue

Using some dielectric grease could reduce some corrosion by keeping contaminants out. You will still be mating dissimilar metals, but it can only help.

Dielectric grease is a good idea.
