Actually, we're working against a double whammy. Not only do the steel studs
rust but there is electrolysis taking place. Because of this, I doubt that
stainless steel studs would cure the problem.
I've thought about covering the studs with shrink tubing and enlarging the
holes in the housing and outlet just enough to clear it. Has anyone tried
this approach?
