Claim Text:
1. A method for forming a hybrid structure, said method comprising: applying a sealant to a first component fabricated from a first material; coupling an isolation sheet to the sealant, wherein the sealant has a thickness and covers a surface area of the first component such that the isolation sheet is separated from the first component; forming at least one bore hole through at least one of the isolation sheet, the sealant, and the first component; and coupling a second component to the isolation sheet with a fastener at the at least one bore hole, wherein the second component and the isolation sheet are both fabricated from a second material that is different than the first material to facilitate preventing formation of a galvanic cell within the hybrid structure.
