One point dude....htf did you manage to snap such a bolt? They only need nipping up a little bit. I don't have the specified torque values but, I would reckon it to be around 20-30Nm and nowhere near enough to snap a steel bolt.
BTW stainless alloys usually have a lower tensile strength and are often not recommended for use in stressed applications.
