FPD banjo nut replacement and galvanic corrision?

Hi is this the part everyone uses for the FPD replacement?
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ear-997591erl
I'm concern because its made of aluminum not sure if galvanic corrosion will come into play because of the different metals between fuel line,washers, and bolt

Also will the recess on the banjo affect sealing on the fuel line. I heard its only to be used on Earl's fittings? Any suggestions on the most affordable and safe banjo to use? Links would be appreciated! Thank You!

i'm not sure if that's the correct fitting to use, however I can tell you that you need not worry about the corrosion as much as you think you are. You will get corrosion, remember that half the engine is aluminum and the other half is iron so its a moot point. If anything, try to source an identicle banjo bolt to the one opposite the FPD fitting (works for S4's only as the S5 rail is all welded in place), and then just use that bolt and the existing line.
