how to stop galvanic corrosion- S.S. to alum.
I'm restoring a 1968 truck camper that has an aluminum skin, I believe the alloy is 5005 anodized. I will replace quite a few rusted steel screws that are in contact with the aluminum and I want to use stainless steel. What is the best way to stop or retard galvanic corrosion between the two metals ? Some of these screws are going into wood and others are going into aluminum beams that make up the structure. I'm thinking maybe nylon washers under the screw heads ? Is there some " goop " to put on the threads before installing ?
