I enjoy taking a stab at things, even if I get it wrong...which I often
do...

Depending on the the components you are talking about, it seems like it
might be possible to install something analogous to a sacrificial anode -
like a magnesium ring on the opposite side of the rubber/metal interface.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how you would pull something like that off for,
say, a rubber gasket on an aluminum block... But it all has to start with an
idea.

OK...commence with the "this guy is an idiot" posts! :)
