Here is my 2-cents worth on the subject. Two dissimilar metals need to be
separated by a non-conductor to minimize corrosion. On boats guys use
anodised (nonconducting surface) aluminum and stainless rivets. Corrosion
does set in in the hole if it is not anodised. My brother has had tons of
loose stainless rivets on his Hobie Cats (his 5th now). Some fishing boat
manufacturers try to match even the aluminum sheet and the aluminum rivet
materials to minimise corrosion. But this stuff lives in water which helps
the electron flow.
Zenair, Skywatch and many others don't use stainless rivet in high strength
areas. Skywatch use high strength steel zinc plated ones. I'm thinking of
using these instead of stainless, but mainly than keeping water out as much
as posible (although even humidity is enough to get things s l o w l y
going). Punch in galvanic series on a search engine or look up

Went looking for Stainless Rivets today.

Local supplier wants to sell me Avinox Stainless Rivets. OBE61 series.
He tells me they are the stainless equivalent to Avex (both are Textron
product).

Are these the stainless rivets I should be using for my firewall?

As usual thanks in advance.
