I have to mount some new ADAHRS units in my tail and I was wondering if I can use zinc-plated brass rods to support them? Is the zinc plating considered magnetic?
Also, are there any dissimilar corrosion issues with zinc-plated brass and aluminum?

In the galvanic series, zinc is more anodic than aluminum and will preferentially corrode, much like cadmium, which as you know is used to plate steel bolts for the same reason.
