Gatorback install question
Hi all,
Hypothetically if one didn't realize that the gatorback rear flaps came with both aluminum and stainless steel washers, and mixed them through the install, are they going to be asking for trouble?
It sure was a lot of work putting them on, I'd hate to pull everything off and redo it.
Is there a strong reason they included both aluminum and stainless for different applications?
Thank you.

Shameless plug... I have a full set of gatorback with no metal plates for sale. I opted to go another route. I installed the front ones, then changed my mind. I'd let them go for a good price. If anyone is interested, just send me a PM.

Aluminum washers are for 17 and up
steel washers for 99 thru 16
steel on an aluminum body will cause electrolysis resulting in corrosion
