According to Forbes Aird's "Racers Encyclopedia of Race Materials", Dilavar steel has a ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of around 180 ksi, pretty good stuff compared to other alloy steel fasteners on the market. In addition, he did offer that this was "in the temper chosen by Porsche." What does that mean? Can someone source this stuff in bulk for resale as OEM and specify a different temper from the manufacturer?
Not sure comparing a corroded Dilavar and a good steel is a fair comparison, but I'll trust you metal guys to know what's a straight up test.
