Found an aluminum box 2x2.5x4 ft long. I plan to paint and place in back of my 66 to use as a dry storage box. All 1/8 in aluminum. Plan to attach handles and a hasp, which are steel. I understand alum and steel do not sit well together.
Should I put something between the alum and steel handles and hasp?
Which fasteners should I use?
It wont get a whole bunch of weather but it will sit outside some. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,065 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,065 | Either some thick rubber tape or maybe some undercoating on the handles and hasp would work to isolate the two metals. I would use stainless steel hardware also. Should last a long time.
