Loctite or Vibratite will also prevent galling.
Be careful about the bolts you buy. I learned the hard way. Found either improper or no heat treat on the bolts I bought through American Clasics. The bolts at the hardware store aren't any better. I would recommend getting bolts from either
Totally Stainless or
GMC Pauls . I know they both sell quality bolts.
