Seems to me copper and alloy are at either end of the electrolytic scale.

Donno if thats important in this application.
Good point Les,

I had thought about it and had some concerns especially after Phil's radiator thread. However I've seen coper washers used on old aluminium motorcycle crank cases and head studs. I don't know if the adition of coolant will be a factor.

I can replace them with teflon later if it looks like a problem.

Cheers
