whatever process you use get a tube of Duralac and smear the face of
the metal abutting the wood with duralac, then push them into position
and bolt. this is a jointing compound designed to prevent corrosion
between dissimilar materials.
it is used in aviation and it works.

the rest of what you are doing is quite ok.



Thanks. I'll do that! Would you put a bit on the bolts as well?
