Bob, you have to realise that electrolytic corrosion only takes place when
the relative humidity at the joint is over 50%. Any permanent elastic mass
between the two mating flanges will ensure no moist will be present, hence
no corrosion. Paint and/or tape will still leave a crevice where moisture
can be present. (Most probably the Concours guys will not approve this
solution).
