I'd trust the M-B fasteners. I'll wager they put a lot of thought into the best stuff to use for that. And I'm more than willing to alter the Benz stuff when it makes sense (look at my build thread if you don't believe me!).

Agreed. Some things on these cars are over built/designed, and that is one reason for their longevity. If one bracket is good enough, MBZ will put three. As for the nuts, they are copper coated, not solid copper.
