Grant:Thanks for the heads-up on the McMaster Antiseize Lubricant.Your link 
took me to an ISD web site where I found the product, in an 8 oz container, for 
about $22+.  Was hoping I could find it at my local hardware store, but this 
particular product is marketed in the Industrial sector and normally not 
carried by your mass merchandising outlets such as ACE; Lowels etc.  However, 
never say die, I found a Permatex product on a Sears web site.  It's less than 
$22 and it comes in a 16 oz container. For our application it will last more 
than a life time.  Maybe "we" can repackage it into a 1 oz. tube and resell 
it??I understand that Stainless Steel, being more noble than Aluminum,, 
contributes to the cause of corrosion.  I would think Cad plated hardware would 
be the way to go since Cadmium is Aluminum's neighbor on the Galvanic table.
I'm not sure if a Nickel loaded anti seize compound would be the way to go 
since Nickel is way more nobel than Stainless Steel.   I'll leave it up to the 
on line experts to bring us up to speed on this subject,
