Howdy,

I needed some 1/4" bolts for an electrical connection, and as the fastener
store was out of 2" long brass bolts, I was sold something called "silken
bronze." According to the fellow behind the counter, they are 95% copper.

Silicon bronze - a marine hardware store will have silicon bronze or
Everdur fasteners. McMaster, too.
