I spread a thin layer of silicon caulk between the two pieces. I did this on
a race car I restored in '87 and there is absolutely no sign of galvanic
reaction.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Rivet Steel to Aluminum
We need to attach powder-coated steel to the outside of a painted
aluminum truck body. I don't want to set up a galvanic reaction and I've
never pop riveted anything into aluminum.
-How do we prevent galvanic corrosion?
-Are there special pop-rivets or tools for putting rivet into aluminum?
The truck body is held together with some large diameter rivets, but I
am guessing they had two-sided access when they assembled it. We only
have access from one side.
