Maverik Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 After a recent topic I read on here about fastner choices, always a hot topic for me working with ships but as equally transferable to Land rovers I find it quite interesting, anyway found this short yet interesting article on galvanic corrosion. https://www.assda.asn.au/technical-info/technical-faqs/galvanicdissimilar-metal-corrosion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 That's an interesting read, I learnt some of that years ago but a good reminder and some new lessons to learn. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the mentioned article, you will know where you can use them and where not. Another issue is the thickness of materials. Since decades I use stainless steel screws on motorcycle engines and never experienced any problems. Never use stainless steel in contact with thin aluminum plates.

The binoculars was there before and the tomatoes rolled by chance into this position. I took the opportunity to take a picture. It says a lot, how one sometimes see things ... with tomatoes on the eyes ... ☝️ Edited January 19, 2020 by Sigi_H 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
