Which rivets for Y pipe bracket

[clepore1]

I bought stainless rivets for the 10 rivets needed to reattach the bracket that holds the Y pipes up under the tunnel but I started reading up on corrosion that can be caused by two different metals being connected.

Should I buy some aluminum Multi-grip rivets instead?

or am i over thinking this and the stainless rivets are fine because it is a low stress area?

your right in thinking this but the stainless steel rivets and aluminum will take forever to rust/ oxidize.
instead of using stainless rivets get yourself some stainless steal button head bolts and nylon lock nuts. the next time you have to take it apart will be easier.

a little antisieze will prevent corosion as well.

Just rivet them on, no biggy, just don't use aluminum rivets as they won't hold.

This bracket being loose is a major contributing factor to worn donuts and broken y-pipes/flex joints.

I reinstalled that bracket with 6 SS bolts with nylock nuts.
