John;

If there is a dissimilar metal combination it is a good idea to
electrically insulate one from the other. Simply anodizing the aluminum
is one approach (specifying a color looks trick). Never- Seize is
something I use on stainless bolts; it prevents galling & seizing and
helps with the electrolysis problem. Most copper washers have an
equivalent made in soft aluminum.

A question for the builders and/or those of you who use to run Mag
wheels.
What is the best anti-corrosive lube to use between aluminum (injector
bung), magnesium (velocity stack), and steel/titanium (bolt)?  and If I
throw in a copper washer can I use the electricity to power my ECU?
.just
kidding about the ECU.
