Fastener businesses carry stainless allen head screws.

I used allen head bolts.  They are not stainless but they are black 
something and they are not rusty.

Another thing I thought was a good idea is I installed little tiny o rings 
on the bolts.  When you do this it seals the bolts against the lense, keeps 
them from coming loose and adds another cushion to the lense so you are less

likely to crack.
