After chiseling/drilling out numerous fasteners to remove the wings from my 4/4 for the first time I replaced them with stainless steel when I did the reinstallation, making the operation much easier for the next removal.
Yup, me too. I used button-head M4 hex capscrews, smeared with Copaslip and with stainless nylocs. much easier to remove/replace and I think they look reasonably smart.
