They are far apart on the galvanic table. Basically, over time and particularly given a warm moist environment you will find that the aluminum part will corrode unless they are electrically isolated. In addition you'd have to find a bonding adhesive that was compatible to both the carbon and the aluminum. I think you'd find that fellow LML list member John Barrett Barrett/Garrett Enterprises, Inc. PO Box 428 Pt.
