Lol, dissimilar metals, will be a pile of metal shavings within 2 years! Just kidding, it'll take longer than 2.

Although it's true, it'll hopefully take longer than that.. (grounds where needed, no "grounds" where they should not be). Still a process you can't avoid when mixing dissimilar metals.

Same business Jag, Ford, & "all the rovers" did/doing mixing aluminum with steel. (They are nowhere near the only ones to commit that big sin).

I suppose it's easy now, charge an extra $30/60/90 on top of nornal, and pretend all these laminates have no issues (fiberglass or wonder-carbon). Before flame gets too hot, I do not know a thing you didn't find yourself.

Aluminum and steel (or almost any mix of different metals) will attack each other through galvanic action. Essentially making a "battery" where they touch each other.

What's aluminum and what's steel?

I saw some zinc stars. Are those better?

I'm looking hard for brass stars.

All metals exhibit this to some degree. I'm not saying you must change it.

I’m still curious which pieces you’re referring to

I'm not an expert, so if you can explain which metal is bad in the setup let me know. And tell me what you suggest as a replacement.

I've attached the page(s) from the ezgo manual. They specify brass for the screw, but just a washer external tooth.

I used the brake microswitch because I'm heading there soon.

I think he’s saying that with galvanic corrosion... the washer will soon be attacked and connectivity will begin to diminish... but I’m still guessing

I'm not having good luck.

From China: The minimum size we have in stock is M3, see the drawing attached.
