I am using Vi Kapler's hinges as are many Piets. I wouldn't worry about galvanicreaction unless you are near salt water or have some sort of electrical currentnext to the hinge. I have heard that there is a problem with the hinges wearingand the lube carrying the resultant streak across your pristine tail surfaces.Does anyone have a good solution for that??I have anchored mine with s.s. bolts and fiber locknuts. Just varnished the cavitiesalong with the rest of the structure and bolted them in place.er at http://explorer.msn.com________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 11:06:29 -0500
