I have obtained some brass inserts to the same design and size as those mentioned.

As a precaution I checked compatibility of the different metals, it appears that brass in most applications is fine with steel, it is not with carbon or stainless steel in a wet environment, I also noted that mild steel and stainless steel are not compatible in a wet environment, the differential is likely to increase the speed of corrosion in the mild steel component.

I guess the epoxy will possibly insulate the two components from each other

Does anyone know what metal is used in the sunroof drains?

I'm not entirely sure about using brass and steel together—refer to the table below for more details. Brass sleeves are readily available in various sizes, but from what I've read, they're not recommended. That’s why I opted for the Wavin inserts instead.
