Hi

I started experimenting with replacing steel fastners with aluminium ones. It looks like I won't save 100g as hoped, but 40-50g I will. Not sure it's worth it TBH. Alu screws aren't cheap, and I'm only able to get them in one length so there's a lot of manual resizing that I have to do.

Well I got half way with it today before running out of alu screws. I might as well finish it though so will buy more next week and replace the second half. Photos below show today's weight saving.
