30 nc air tube screw

[DaveGunter]

I snapped off the screw that holds the secondary air tube to the manifold on my 30 nc. I've drilled it out and am ready to re attach and have plenty of misc screws laying around that would fit, but am unsure about using them. I know nothing about metals and grades of metals, will any old screw that fits work, or does it need a specific type of metal?

If I had a stainless screw the right size I'd use it. But I can't see any worse happening than to have to drill it out again in the future if there is a problem.

I've never had mine out, I'm figuring the same will happen when I finally need to replace the baffle boards.

needs to be stainless if possible

future ref gang, we use stainless screws , but it doesn't hurt to shoot a bit of WD 40 or similar on them and let it sit a few minutes to prevent breakage.
