[TowerTalk] STAINLESS STEEL BOLT AND ALUMINIUM ROTATOR CASINGPROBLEM

[john at kk9a.com]

There is tremendous corrosion to aluminum when in contact with stainless 
steel and salt spray.  As much as I like stainless steel hardware, I would 
still avoid using it in aluminum threads if you're in a corrosive 
environment.

This won't help get them off, but for prevention I fill the bolt  hole with
NoAlox, then insert the bolt.  Four year in KH6 with acid rain  and some
salt spray and I had no problem getting the bolts out.
