When installing the etrailer Horizontal E-Track part # e65VR we generally use a rubber material that is generally used as a liner in garden ponds as an isolator for the two dissimilar metals. It is easy to cut into strips and place under the full length of the track. Once secured down we trim off any excess using the track as a guide.
Using stainless steel hardware would be ideal too.
