In all practical sense, corrosion is not likely to occur in your lifetime
unless you drive through salt laden winter situations, which I hope wouldn't
be likely today. Regardless, make sure all surfaces are well painted before
assembly. Use the aluminum rivets. Realize that they were 3/16" diameter pop
rivets along the side flanges, and 1/8" solid blind rivets along the boot
lid lower lip and bottom flange to trunk floor lip. Most people today use
simple to install pop rivets.
The word you were looking for in NOT going is perhaps Concours??? Don't be
afraid, it only means "contest".<grin>

Subject: [Healeys] Pop rivet Question
Its time to install the rear shroud. Since this is an allum. to steel
metal
connection area
would SS pop rivets be a reasonable choice for this area to cut down on
the
corrosion
problem? Or are the allum. pop rivets OK to use?
No Conco?????? here mates, I can't even spell the word with out getting
points knocked
off. Gees
