Default carb float bowl screws

Can you use regular steel screws in float bowl or do they have to be brass or stainless?

I read somewhere that the two metals would react and corrode worse with regular steel. Thanks

This. If you thought the brass ones were hard to remove, wait till those steel ones corrode. They will freeze right up.

CVPerformance sells the float bowl stainless kit for like $7. It's a good investment.
