Stainless steel and aluminum are not happy in direct contact, so we fit a plastic isolating washer between the surfaces, as shown above. The stainless steel fasteners are coated with an anti-corrosive compound (the type varies with depending on the situation).

Do you generally use nylon for isolation, or uhmw (or something else)?

Hi Steve:
We typically use a hard plastic which does not compress or hold moisture. Nylon is not good in either regard.
