Location: Foothills of the Smokeys		I'm replacing the rubber bumper on my aluminum CM trailer. The thread on two of the screws are stripped and I want to replace them with nuts and bolts. Do I have to use aluminum bolts, or is there some other kind I can use? I'm having trouble finding aluminum ones, but I don't want to cause corrosion to the aluminum.

Location: Foothills of the Smokeys		Thanks for the info.  I wanted the opinion of an expert before I tried something that might cause corrosion on my trailer.
