I'm putting together a Single Point Ground system and exterior box for 
connectors, et al.

I'm concerned that there will likely be dissimlar metals involved --

The lightning arrestors (ICE and Polyphaser) are aluminum, the 
grounding wires and cables are copper, and the panels for the box's 
interior panel is aluminum and I can make ht eSPG whatever I want.

My questions are this...will there be a problem with aluminum and 
copper being bolted together?  Should I go to another metal?  What 
happens with brass and copper?

Thanks in advance,
