[RE-wrenches] Plastic washers

[Conrad Geyser]

Jay,

I would suggest that he has a point, that the dissimilar metals do have a
reaction.  But that the reaction is self limiting and that stainless
fasteners with aluminum are used in marine applications albeit only with
anodized aluminum.  Or say fine and invoice accordingly for the plastic
washers.
