If your using Ally plate then Stainless steel screws, or bolts with nylon lock nuts be better, to mount it.
Then your going to have a corosion problem.
It will be that white salty looking stuff thats hard to get off.
Best use Stainless all round.

Sorry to offend.
Don't get me wrong there will be no problem, structually, for some time.
But once you mix a more knoble metal SS, to a less knoble metal Ally.
There will be corosion in the less knoble metal, in time.
thanks for the feedback guys . price is reason for using ali
but ill be using stainless bolts to secure the base plate
cheers ray
