GL: Brass vs. Stainless Steel

[Glenn Dean]

Speaking as someone who works in a food industry, using a lot of brass and
SS.
I don't think there will be a reaction. However, there is a coating called
"anti-seize"
that you spread on the threads of the bolt. This keeps heat and corrosion from
corroding the two
together. It comes in a small can, with an applicator in the screw-off top.
Its useful wherever you have heat and corrosion.
 If anti-seize had been used originally , you probably wouldn't have broken
the bolt off, in the first place.

I was re-installing the Heat Exchanged on Scout when the brass bolt
stripped that was holding the end cap on.

The heat exchanger is brass also (I think).



I re-tapped and cleaned out the bolt hole & installed a Stainless Steel
bolt from Lowes.



Will the SS & Brass "react" with each other and seize up?

Or

Is the SS Bolt OK?
