Myturbin stem bolts are pretty bad, will replace. Will these work?

I wouldn't use Ti bolts in any safety critical applications.

Were any titanium bolts/fasteners used in the SR-71?

Quality titanium bolts are fine in stems. I have had a few stems (and brakes) come with them as standard and they haven't killed me dead yet. I'm not sure if those will fit but will keep checking back on this thread as I would like to replace the ones in my turbine stems as they look a bit shabby. I have only used natural ti bolts and they still look as good as they day they were fitted. I'm not interested in the weight though.
