Part of my job is corrosion engineering. Feel free to do what you want. Best practice dictates otherwise. I would not build like that without isolation as his setup contains three dissimilar metals with rain being the electrolyte. Once moisture gets under the oxides you have a runaway reaction.

If rain is not touching the bolts then it’s not an issue.

I’m not trying to win. But there’s no reason to fearmonger when it’s not a problem. Everything is sealed. Why wouldn’t it be? It’s 10 big ass holes through the roof.

So best practice is fear mongering?


I think I understand.

It’s because of the frugal fallacy that is changing rigs when something major on their current rig breaks thinking it saves money, or they want something to do so they build it slightly different and justify it however; or the subconscious limiting belief that “keeping a vehicle for life is what the other half does!”.
