In actual fact, I think you will find that the limit on how tight you can do a stainless Allen screw up for a disc will be a close run thing between rounding off the internal hex on the head and stripping the thread in the casting....
Nah that's easy - hex head goes first - cos they're nearly all button or countersunk so (in metric bolts) - a head size smaller. :4roz:
