Does anyone know of any problems connecting a copper terminal to a stainless steel 4 hole pad?

I do this all of the time, although it's typically for grounding. I tin the copper terminal before I install it, but I don't see a problem leaving it bare. I would also use a contact grease such as NO-OXID or Penetrox.

If it is broken, fix it. If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.
 
Thanks.
what type of material do you use for bolts and washers?
 
We use stainless steel fasteners when used outdoor and mild steel fasteners if used under oil.
