A curiosity/safety question:
I know that if steel & aluminium are left in contact with each other for some length of time the aluminium corrodes and turns to powder (look at old Land Rovers repaired with aluminium plates and steel rivets).
My SRT gear is often stored for weeks at a time between uses with the different metals up against each other. I do clean and dry it before putting it away, so is there much (or any) chance of this corrosion taking place? Should I keep the different metals seperate when not in use?
